Description
Rich, fudgy Starbucks-style double chocolate brownies made with cocoa powder, melted butter, chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chunks for a chewy bakery-style treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks, reserving a handful for the top.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the reserved chocolate pieces over the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the brownies cakey instead of fudgy.
- Dutch-process cocoa powder can be used for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Add chopped walnuts, pecans, milk chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips for variation.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze individual squares for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Microwave a brownie for 10–15 seconds to make it soft and gooey again.
