Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 10 tablespoons (145g) unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large cold eggs
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2/3 cup (80g) chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325°F (162°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir in sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt until blended. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add Eggs and Flour: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in flour until thick.
  5. Optional Additions: Mix in nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake: Spread batter in the pan and bake for 20-30 minutes.

Notes

  • Brownies firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake.
  • For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake them.
  • Store in an airtight container for freshness.
