These delicious homemade brownies are one of our favorites. If you love rich, moist, thick, chocolatey brownies that must be washed down with a glass of milk – these are it!

These are delicious on their own or served with a side of vanilla ice cream.

I prefer to serve immediately. I think they are best when they are warm. So I make them within a few hours of when I intend to serve. Make sure to keep them in a sealed container so they do not harden.

Recipe notes: I use Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder, but you don’t have to use dark. In the brownies pictures, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but I normally use dark chocolate chips. So, in the recipe I listed what I used in the picture. But you can use whatever type of chips you want.

I know I have such an odd number of minutes for the suggested baking time. That’s just what we prefer. If you’d like them less gooey, or your oven cooks slower – then leave them in a few more minutes.

The BEST Homemade Brownies

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 23 minutes

Total Time 43 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups of white granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups of cocoa powder
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips (I usually buy Kroger brand - I like that they are not so small)
4 large eggs
2 sticks butter
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat in a sauce pan
Just before butter is completely melted - add sugar. Stir until butter is completely melted and sugar is mixed evenly into the melted butter.
Transfer melted butter and sugar mixture into bowl. I use my KitchenAid Mixer
In same bowl, mix together butter/sugar mixture, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs, cocoa powder and flower. (I allow the mixer to run for a couple minutes - mixture will be thick)
When all above ingredients are mixed thoroughly - stir in chocolate chips.
IMMEDIATELY pour into greased 13x9 baking pan. (The longer you wait - the thicker and harder to transfer the mixture)
Bake at 350 for 23 minutes. Your oven may require a few more minutes. (I know that is an odd number - but it will continue to cook in the pan for a minute or two once it is removed from the oven. Overdone brownies are just not yummy!)

Notes

Additional Topping Ideas:

Melt chocolate and shortening together - drizzle over top of brownies
Add chopped nuts
Sprinkle powdered sugar over top of brownies
