Servings: 16 brownies
Equipment
- 8 inch square baking pan
- Parchment paper, or non-stick cooking spray
- Microwave safe mixing bowl
- Stand mixer with wire whisk attachment
- silicone spatula
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, chopped
- 4½ ounces semi-sweet chocolate, broken into pieces
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320℉
- Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the butter and chocolate to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments until melted, stirring well.
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Beat with a wire whisk attachment on high speed for 6 minutes, or until thickened and glossy, and the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the stand mixture and beat on high speed once again until well combined.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the brownie mixture and fold through with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick and glossy.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sides and top have just set, but the center is still soft. Allow to cool in the baking pan.
