Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened alkalized cocoa powder Dutch-process
  • 1 pound unsalted butter cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1-3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line your 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until liquid but not bubbling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and kosher salt until well combined.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick, pale, and fluffy.
  6. Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg and sugar mixture while whisking continuously. Add vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula.
  8. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  9. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper to cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • Swirl in peanut butter or cream cheese for a twist.
