Loaded with melted and whole chocolate chips, this easy-to-make recipe requires just 35 minutes of total time and yields 9 decadent brownies perfect for any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

Butter and Sugar

  • 10 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Additional

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (unmelted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt butter and combine with sugar: Melt 10 tablespoons of salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second increments until fully melted. Pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl and whisk in 1 cup of granulated sugar by hand until the mixture is smooth and cohesive, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Crack in 2 large eggs and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 1 full minute to incorporate air, which helps create the signature crackly top on the brownies.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and mix in: Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each until completely smooth. Whisk the melted chocolate thoroughly into the brownie batter until well combined and silky smooth.
  5. Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender. Then stir in the remaining 1 cup of whole unmelted chocolate chips for bursts of melty chocolate.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. The brownies should be set but moist in the center.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing into 9 squares. This resting time ensures cleaner slices and optimal fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use salted butter to enhance the flavor but reduce additional salt accordingly.
  • Be careful not to overbake; brownies continue to cook slightly as they cool.
  • Melting half the chocolate chips and adding half unmelted gives a rich texture and gooey chocolate pockets.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate cooled brownies for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
  • This recipe can be doubled for a larger pan, adjusting baking time accordingly.
