Everyone should have a good, classic brownie recipe on hand and I think you’re really going to like this one! I can’t keep this stuff in the house or it’d all be consumed in an impressive amount of time followed by a major stomach ache. So, I bake, enjoy a brownie or two, and then send the rest to work with Justin! It’s a win-win.
These brownies immediately came to mind when a few Basil Belle followers said they wanted to see more recipes with chocolate. Thankfully, I’ve been in such a baking mood lately, so I pulled out my KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Side note, I don’t believe in cakey brownies, (cough, cough, Andrew!) so I opted to keep the bake time around 30-35 minutes, but you can do what you want… please just don’t bake them too long or I can’t be held accountable!! Otherwise, happy baking!
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x9 baking pan with foil and cooking spray.
- Melt butter and chocolate together either on the stovetop or microwave, stirring often. Do not let this burn!
- Let cool slightly and then stir in sugar and eggs.
- Mix the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together and then add to the sugar mixture, stirring to combine.
- Pour brownie mixture into your pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. I recommend serving with vanilla ice cream and coffee.
