Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Sprinkles or pastel M&Ms (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in cocoa powder until smooth.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, cool slightly, and whisk in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted cocoa mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan, then decorate with sprinkles or M&Ms before cutting into squares.
Notes
To achieve a fudgy texture, avoid overbaking and allow brownies to cool before cutting.
