Rich, fudgy, and utterly decadent, these brown sugar brownies are the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers. With a deep, caramel-like flavor from the brown sugar and a velvety smooth texture, these squares of heaven will satisfy any sweet craving and leave you wanting more.

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (12 tablespoons), plus more for greasing the pan
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Melt the butter and sugars in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder until it’s well combined.

Let it cool slightly, then stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the saucepan and stir until just combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor.

Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough brownies.

If using a dark-coated pan, reduce oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) to prevent over-browning.

For fudgy brownies, bake for 23-25 minutes; for more set brownies, bake for 27-30 minutes.

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
