Make dense, moist, and rich chocolate brownies that taste like soft fudge using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until fully combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the melted unsweetened chocolate and the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still look slightly underdone for maximum fudginess.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For the fudgiest texture, do not overbake. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist, sticky crumbs attached, not clean.
  • If you are looking for simple recipes for everyday meals, this classic brownie recipe is a reliable choice.
  • Chilling the brownies for an hour after they cool slightly makes cutting cleaner squares easier.
