Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped Use good-quality chocolate for best results.
- 3/4 cup 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 1/2 cups 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large 4 large eggs, room temperature Room temperature eggs provide a silky texture.
- 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional) Optional mix-ins for added texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
Melting
- In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until glossy and slightly thickened — about 1–2 minutes by hand. Stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold together gently until fully combined. Add salt and any optional mix-ins.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
Cooling and Slicing
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment overhang to lift out the slab, then slice into squares.
Notes
For clean slices, chill the brownies for at least an hour and use a sharp knife warmed under hot water between cuts. Adjust baking time for desired texture: bake for chewier edges or fudgier centers.
