Perfect Fudgy Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are set, but the center is still slightly soft (a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter).
- Cool and slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Enjoy your decadent, fudgy brownies!
