Melted butter is the key to fudgy brownies, because it skips the air that creaming adds. Learn how melted butter changes texture and how to use it right.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (85g) chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment.
2
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly so the eggs do not scramble.
3
Whisk the melted butter with both sugars until glossy, about 1 minute.
4
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth and shiny.
5
Fold in the flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
6
Spread into the pan and bake 22 to 25 minutes, until the top is shiny and the center is just set. Cool before slicing.
