• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 300 grams granulated sugar
• 75 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoons fine salt
• 90 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams semisweet chocolate chips

How to make it

1. 01

   Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.

2. 02

   Melt the 170 grams unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave in a heatproof bowl.

3. 03

   Stir 300 grams granulated sugar and 75 grams unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted butter until fully combined and smooth.

4. 04

   Let the mixture cool slightly, then beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoons vanilla extract and ½ teaspoons fine salt. Beat vigorously for about 1 minute until glossy — this helps create the crackly top.

5. 05

   Sift in 90 grams all-purpose flour and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 06

   Fold in the 100 grams semisweet chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

7. 07

   Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

8. 08

   Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into squares.
