Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Medium Saucepan
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
For the Brown Butter Fudgy Brownies
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Step 4: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 5: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Step 6: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 9: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
To keep your brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just ensure they are wrapped tightly!
