Equipment
9x13 inch glass baking dish or light color metal brownie pan
Ingredients
1cupunsalted butter(2 sticks)
2cupsgranulated sugar
4eggs
1 ¼cupsunsweetened cocoa powder
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 ½cupsall-purpose flour
½teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonbaking powder
12ouncebag dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat interior of pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugar to the melted butter and stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, just until the mixture begins to simmer (do not allow the mixture to come to a full simmer). Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture and stir until well mixed.
Reserve ½ cup of the chocolate chips or chunks. Stir the rest of the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread out with a spatula. Add remaining chocolate chips, by sprinkling over the top of the batter.
Place the chocolate brownies in preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the edges are set. When the brownies are ready, a toothpick inserted into the center will come out with a bit of moist crumb on it, but not be coated with wet brownie batter. If it pulls out clean they are overbaked.
Cool the chocolate chip brownies in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.
Notes
Well sealed brownies will last 3-4 days at room temperature, up to a week in refrigerator or freeze brownies for up to 3 months.
