Easy homemade brownies will have you ditching store-bought mixes for good. Loaded with decadent chocolate flavor, these brownies are gooey and thick with crispy edges.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter ((226g))
  • 2 cups granulated sugar ((400g))
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((75g))
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour ((120g))
  • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips ((270g))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals stirring between each one until fully melted, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cocoa and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add the flour and chocolate chips and mix together with a spatula until just combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. (You can sprinkle the top with more chocolate chips, if desired.)

  4. 4

    Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, inserting a toothpick into the center to check doneness, and removing it with several moist crumbs for fudgy brownies or only a few crumbs for cakey brownies. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.
