ChefXi OfficialDense, fudgy brownies with a crackly top and a deep cocoa essence. A perfect balance of rich chocolate and a chewy texture that comes together in one bowl.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously for about a minute until the mixture is glossy and slightly pale.
The extra whisking here creates that coveted crackly top layer.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
Do not overmix once the flour is in, or the brownies will become cakey instead of fudgy.
Fold in the chocolate chips and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Patience is key—cooling allows the structure to set for that perfect chew.
