Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 3/4 cups butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 cups packed and leveled light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs, room temperature is best
- 2 1/4 cups white all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips – milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the softened butter and brown sugar until well combined. This can be done easily with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate step, gently stir the flour, baking powder, and salt with a fork to distribute the leavening and salt evenly before folding into the wet batter.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Once the batter is well mixed, stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare and Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Use a knife to smooth the surface for even baking. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25 minutes.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper sling. Cool completely before slicing with a sharp knife into 24 servings.
Notes
- Room temperature eggs and butter help create a smoother batter and even baking.
- Adjust baking time slightly if using a dark or glass pan, as it may affect heat conduction.
- Chocolate chips variety can be changed to suit your preference without altering the texture.
- To ensure chewy texture, avoid overbaking; check with a toothpick inserted into the center—some moist crumbs should stick to it.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner slicing.
