Classic Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Print Recipe

These classic fudgy chocolate brownies are rich, dense, and loaded with deep chocolate flavor. They have a soft, gooey center and a shiny, crackly top — everything a perfect brownie should be.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, if using.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy in the center.
  • For deeper flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Brownies taste even better the next day — store in an airtight container.
