Bake dense, moist, and rich chocolate brownies that taste like soft fudge. This recipe delivers a classic, deeply satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift the cocoa powder and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the flour using a spatula until no streaks remain. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs attached, but the center should still look slightly underdone for maximum fudginess.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For the fudgiest texture, avoid overbaking. The brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the deepest chocolate flavor.
  • If you prefer a crackly top, gently whisk the sugar and eggs for about one minute before adding the butter.
