Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 10 Tbsps (142 g) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 4 oz (113 g) semisweet chocolate bar, chopped (*see notes)
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 8-inch (20.32-cm) square metal baking pan and line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the small cubed butter and chopped chocolate, stirring continuously until melted, for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix until combined.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture over the top of the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. If using parchment paper, lift out of the pan and cut into 2 ½-inch (6-cm) squares. Makes 9 large squares.
Notes
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Optional: 2/3 cup good quality semisweet chocolate chips can substitute the 4 oz (113 g) semisweet chocolate bar.
