Description
Rich, gooey brownies with a crackly top and deep chocolate flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment.
Whisk melted butter and sugar until well-blended and glossy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Stir in cocoa, salt, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Fold in the flour just until no dry streaks remain.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
Cool before slicing.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa for richer flavor.
Add chocolate chunks or swirl-in toppings for variety.
Slight underbake creates extra fudgy texture.
