Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. - Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. - Combine with Dry Ingredients:
Sift cocoa powder and flour into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. - Bake:
Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness (a few moist crumbs are ideal). - Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Slice into 16 squares and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips: For gooier brownies, reduce baking time slightly. Adjust mix-ins or toppings to suit your preferences.
