Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • Sea Salt for sprinkling optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
  • In the microwave or a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar and mix until well combined. Make sure the mixture is slightly cooled, add eggs one at a time, and finally vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients: dark chocolate cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold in wet ingredients and mix until the dry has been completely incorporated.
  • Add dark chocolate chips and pour batter into the 9x13 pan. Batter will be thick and need to be smoothed with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake!
  • Let brownies cool before cutting into small pieces.
  • Brownies should be stored in an air tight container for up to a few days, or frozen for a few months.
