- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder*
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup flour
- 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chunks, divided**
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8x8 pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add all of the dry ingredients, except the chocolate chips. Mix gently until combined.
Mix in 1 cup of the chocolate chunks.
Pour the thick batter into the greased pan and evenly scatter the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 26-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
*If your cocoa powder is lumpy, sift it into the mixture. No one wants a surprise chunk of cocoa powder in their brownie!
**You can trade out the semi sweet chunks for any kind of chocolate chip. I love the richness of the semi sweet and the look of the chunks, but if you love a sweeter brownie, milk chocolate is a great choice.
***This recipe doubles great. Double the ingredients and put in a greased 9x13 pan. You'll bake for the same amount of time.
