Brownies

These, I gotta say, are delicious, super easy and well, everything you could want in a brownie! (Except for my Nutella Brownies which are also amazing!)

I know everyone likes there brownies baked to a different degree. Personally, I love mine super gooey, but a bunch of my friends like them baked more and still gooey, but also cakey. So, don't worry, I know that the baking time is going to vary A LOT. The range of baking time in the recipe is only 5 minutes, but honestly, some times I will bake mine for a shorter or longer time.

Also, these are pretty chocolaty (if that's a word I'm not sure) but if you want more chocolate, add more chocolate :))

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
chocolate chips to add on top

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With an 8x8in pan, either spray a non-stick grease or coat with butter on bottom and the sides. I like coating the pan in a thin layer of cocoa powder to add flavor
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside
In a large bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips in either the microwave or using a double boiler. Once melted let it cool a bit as to not begin to cook the other ingredients
You can either use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or hand whisk it. Add sugar into butter/chocolate chips and whisk until combined. Continue to whisk while adding eggs and vanilla extract
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet. It is helpful to switch your whisk for a spatula if hand mixing. Fold in your desired amount of chocolate chips, the more chocolate the merrier :)
Pour the batter evenly into the pan and place in oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, because I believe brownies are completely preference. 25 minutes will be more on the gooey side compared to 30 minutes which will be more cakey
