Fudgy Brownies
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Add-ins (optional):
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment and lightly grease.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until thick and smooth.
- Combine: Stir dry ingredients into wet just until no streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips and/or nuts if using.

- Cool & cut: Let cool in pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, err on the shorter end of bake time.
- Want that shiny top? Whisk butter and sugar really well.
- Store in airtight container up to 4 days, or freeze for longer!
