Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips, reserving a handful for sprinkling on top.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks or chips on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to ensure a gooey texture.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give your brownies a rich and intense chocolate taste. Be careful not to overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture. If you prefer an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the brownies. The toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not completely clean. Feel free to add in other mix-ins like chopped nuts, caramel bits, or even a swirl of peanut butter for added flavor and texture.

Chef’s tip: Serve these gooey double chocolate brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
