American · Dessert · 45 min total

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies with a crackly top and chewy edges, perfect for any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until combined.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir into the butter mixture until just blended.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Tips

• For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
