    When I decided to do brownies for Valentine’s Day I knew I’d need to find a just-right recipe. I’m not much of a baker, so I usually rely on either family recipes or bloggers who I know put out winners every. single. time. That’s how I found this recipe for Chocolate Chip Chewy Fudgy Brownies from my friend Sally I’m so grateful for blogging friends who are willing to share their delicious recipes with me!

    The Hunt For the Perfect Chewy Fudgy Brownies

    I took this hunt seriously, you guys! It took a good amount of research and testing before I found the recipe with that just-right texture. I wanted a chewy fudge situation! Sally’s Baking Addiction totally nailed it. I did a happy dance when I pulled them out of the oven for the first time! I think this recipe gets the PERFECT balance that makes everyone happy.

    How to Cut Brownies Perfectly

    Do you ever go to cut a pan of brownies only to make a huge mess because the brownies stick to the knife? I’m not the only one who’s had this happen, right?! Here’s how you can avoid the messy-brownie fate:

    1. Cut your brownies with a plastic knife, OR
    2. Keep a damp paper towel on hand and wipe your knife after every cut!

    Description

    These Chocolate Chip Chewy Fudgy Brownies are the perfect decadent dessert! They’re loaded with chocolate in every bite and have the best texture.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
    • Two 4-ounce semi-sweet chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a large microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each. Pour in a large mixing bowl, then allow to slightly cool for 10 minutes.
    2. Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of a 9×9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
    3. Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the cooled chocolate/butter mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla. Gently whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.
    4. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-36 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with only a few crumbs when the brownies are done. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on them after 30 minutes and use the toothpick test to see when yours are finished. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove from pan and cut into squares. For neat squares, use a very sharp knife and wipe it clean with a paper towel after each cut.
    5. Brownies stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

      Hi Laney,

      These brownies are in my oven as I write this. I doubled the recipe & they aren’t done after an additional 20 minutes. How long should it take? I keep checking them every 5 minutes & sticking a toothpick, but so far it’s wet.

      Do u think you could use chocolate chips to melt with the butter considering they are semi sweet chips?
