How To Make The Best Brownies
Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 45 Min
Total Time: 1 Hr
Ingredients:
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Equipment:
- 8x8 Inch Pan
- Whisk
- Mixing Bowl
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 8 x 8″ baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and sugar. Microwave for 30 seconds, then remove and stir with a whisk. Repeat process 2 more times. Though granules of sugar will remain, the goal is to get the mixture to a glossy finish.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly, then add in eggs one at a time, whisking in between each addition. Whisk until the mixture lightens in color slightly.
- Add in cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Fold in flour until just combined.
- Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and bake for roughly 25 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the brownies beginning at 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edge is set, but a knife inserted into the middle still comes out with a bit of brownie batter on it. It might take up to 35 minutes for them to cook through depending on your oven!
