Chocolate Chip Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 sticks unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 0.75 cup chocolate chips

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is completely melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set the mixture aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs.

3. 3

   Mix together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.

4. 4

   Pour the warm butter mixture into the egg mixture very gradually, whisking constantly until completely combined.

5. 5

   Add the chocolate chips using a silicone spatula. Stir slowly until just combined. Do not overmix; stop stirring when you see the last trace of dry ingredients, since overmixing will produce cakey brownies.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

8. 8

   Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are firm.

9. 9

   Place the pan on a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The source refers to a prepared pan but does not specify the pan size or how it should be prepared. Preheating is listed after the batter is mixed in the source; for practical baking, the oven may be preheated earlier so it reaches temperature before the pan is ready.
