How to Make Drop Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease two baking sheets.
  3. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, melt 8 ounces (227g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional).
  9. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly gooey.
  11. Let cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Store covered at room temperature for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
