Crinkly Fudgy Brownies
Equipment
- 8x8 baking dish
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter browned
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the pan – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- Brown the butter – In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Melt chocolate – While the butter is still hot, pour it over the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Add sugars and salt – Whisk in the white sugar, brown sugar, and salt until combined.
- Beat in eggs – Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until the mixture looks shiny and thick—this step helps create the signature crinkly top.
- Add vanilla – Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in dry ingredients – Sift the cocoa powder and flour directly into the bowl. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool and serve – Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper. Cut into 9 squares and enjoy the fudgy centers with their delicate crinkly tops.
