Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt the butter on the stove over low heat. Allow the melted butter to cool slightly.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

5. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.

6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Remember, it’s better to underbake slightly than to overbake and risk dry brownies.

9. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This will help them set and develop their rich, fudgy texture.

10. Slice into squares, serve, and savor every decadent bite of these luscious fudge brownies. For an extra indulgent touch, you can top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
