Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Whisk together flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Place chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. Cook butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, turns clear, and then turns a medium brown, about 5 minutes. Pour brown butter over chocolate and let stand for 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add C&H® Organic Raw Cane Sugar and C&H® Golden Brown Sugar, whisking until smooth. 

Step 5

Whisk in eggs and egg yolk one at a time, until combined. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour mixture and fold in just until no streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 6

Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Gently tap pan once to remove air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake brownies for 25 to 28 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Lift parchment and place brownies on a cutting board. Cut into squares with a sharp knife. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Chef's Tip

These brownies are delicious topped with flaky salt or served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
