Classic chewy brownies are a timeless dessert that brings joy to everyone who takes a bite. This recipe combines simple ingredients to create a rich, chocolaty treat with a perfect balance of a slightly crispy top and a moist, chewy center. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, these brownies are sure to impress.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir continuously until smooth and well combined.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
- Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the eggs, stirring constantly to combine.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, dry cocoa powder, and a dash of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (Do not over-bake to ensure the brownies remain chewy.)
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer and more intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure the butter and chocolate mixture is completely cooled before adding the eggs; this prevents the eggs from cooking prematurely.
- Fold the flour and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients gently to avoid over-mixing, which can make the brownies dense.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them to avoid them falling apart.
With these easy steps and handy tips, you're all set to bake the perfect batch of classic chewy brownies. They make an excellent dessert, snack, or even a thoughtful homemade gift. Enjoy the fruits of your culinary efforts!
