Indulge in these Ultimate Fudgy Brownies, featuring rich chocolate and a chewy texture that makes them irresistible.

1 cup Unsalted Butter For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or vegetable oil.
1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps create a crisp top.
½ cup Brown Sugar Contributes chewiness and a deeper flavor.
2 large Eggs Can be replaced with flax eggs for a vegan option.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Stick with pure vanilla for the best taste.
1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Use Dutch-processed for a smoother taste.
¼ teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally, and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until creamy.
Beat in the eggs one by one, incorporating each fully before adding the next, and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and then fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

For an extra treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Measure carefully and don't overmix for best results.
