Enter your email below & I'll send it straight to your inbox. Plus you’ll get great new recipes from me each week!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.
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.
Enjoy and happy baking! 💋
Kitchen Items for this Recipe
BEST Gooey Homemade Brownies
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
