Brownies


Overview:

Brownies are rich, chocolatey baked treats with a dense, fudgy texture. They are often enjoyed as a dessert or snack, either on their own or with a scoop of ice cream.

Origin:
United States

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

How to Make It:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of ice cream.
