Equipment
- 8 x 8 inch baking pan
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with butter. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, add the melted butter, both sugars, and vanilla extract. Stir until blended and smooth. Add the eggs and stir to combine.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and ½ cup chocolate chips. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Transfer to pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the batter and press down lightly.
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. A few fudgy crumbs stuck to the toothpick are okay.
- Cool and slice: Remove the brownies from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let the brownies cool before slicing....if you can wait that long!

Notes
- Many brownie recipes use oil instead of butter. For a richer brownie, be sure to use butter.
- When greasing the baking pan with butter, make sure to get into all the corners and evenly cover the whole pan. The brownies will slide right right.
- Mix the brownie batter with a rubber spatula instead of a mixer. The batter just needs to be stirred until the ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. A rubber spatula makes for easy mixing and scraping of the batter into the baking pan.
- For perfectly cut brownies, make sure they are completely cool before cutting into neat squares. Here's an extra tip for super clean cut brownies. Chill them for at least 4 hours before cutting them. Also, wipe any crumbs off the knife between cuts.
