These classic brownies are extra fudgy thanks to melting butter with sugar and then stirring in chocolate chips off the heat, creating a dense, glossy batter. They’re perfect for potlucks, bake sales, weeknight desserts, or anytime you want a simple, reliable chocolate treat. For best results, don’t overbake—pull them when a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs, and cool completely before slicing for clean edges. An instant-read thermometer is a great doneness check (aim for 206°F) to keep the brownies moist and chewy.

Heat the oven to 325 degrees, with a rack positioned in the center. Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 1⁄2 cup 1⁄2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup dark chocolate chips, dark or semisweet or semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 1⁄2 cup 1⁄2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup dark chocolate chips, dark or semisweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Combine the butter and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter comes to a simmer. Turn off the heat, then add the chocolate chips and stir until melted. (The mixture will be grainy at this point.) Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside until just warm to the touch.

  • 1 1 (51 g) large egg
  • 1⁄2 tsp 1⁄2 tsp (2 g) vanilla extract
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp (1 g) kosher salt
  • pinch of pinch of (0 g) baking soda
  • 1 1 (51 g) large egg
  • 1⁄2 tsp 1⁄2 tsp (2 g) vanilla extract
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp (1 g) kosher salt
  • pinch of pinch of (0 g) baking soda

Add the eggs and vanilla to the mixing bowl and whisk vigorously for 1 minute, until pale and glossy. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until incorporated. Add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake brownies until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it, 30 to 33 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Brownies will keep for up to 3 days, well-wrapped at room temperature.

Notes

I always use an instant-read thermometer to test doneness now; brownies are done at 206 deg F. That way, you get a perfectly moist and fudgy brownie once they cool. I start checking at the shortest recommended baking time.
