The Ultimate Fudgy Brownies Recipe

Making Steps

1. In a hot water bath, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth.
2. In a bowl, beat the eggs and add both sugars. Whisk until the mixture becomes fluffy (2-4 minutes).
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
4. Combine all ingredients in the main bowl - first mix in the melted chocolate mixture, then gradually add the dry flour mixture.
5. Cool the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (if you have the patience).
6. Using a spoon, form small portions with gaps between them on a baking sheet. Bake at 175°C for 8 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely, then you can easily remove them from the baking paper.

How to make them soft

1. Don't overbake (most important!)

• Bake at 170-175°C
• Time: 9-11 minutes
• Take them out when edges are just set and centers look slightly underbaked
• They will firm up while cooling but stay soft inside

2. Use more brown sugar than white (optional but great)

• You can do: 50 g white sugar + 100 g light brown sugar
• Brown sugar keeps cookies moist and chewy

3. Chill the dough (optional but recommended)

• 30 minutes in the fridge
• Helps cookies stay thick and soft

4. Don't overmix

• Mix just until flour disappears
• Overmixing = tougher cookies

5. Size matters

• Scoop tablespoon-sized balls
• Slightly flatten them before baking, unless they stick to the spoon too much. They will flatten anyway

Hope you enjoy these brownies as much as I do. Happy baking!
