How to Make Southern Living So Good Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-3 inch overhang on all sides. Lightly grease the foil.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces (340g) of semisweet chocolate squares and 1 cup (2 sticks, 8 ounces or 227g) of unsalted butter.
  4. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth (approximately 1.5-2 minutes).
  5. Whisk in 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar and ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar until well combined.
  6. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, whisking until just blended after each addition.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 40-44 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang as handles.
  13. Carefully peel away the foil and cut into 16 squares.
