How to Make Ultimate Fudgy Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Lightly coat the foil-lined pan with vegetable oil spray.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, butter, and cocoa powder. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth (about 1-3 minutes). Let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined (about 15 seconds).
  5. Gradually whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This allows them to set properly.
  10. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
