Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 sticks) salted butter
  • 10 oz (about 2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 5 large eggs + 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 TBSP vanilla extract
  • 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 TBSP cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 11.5 oz bag (about 2 cups 1/4 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chunks (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 metal or ceramic baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Whisk in cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk until glossy and slightly thickened.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then the extra yolk. Whisk until smooth and shiny.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt. Fold into batter just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chunks on top.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until center reaches 200–202°F and is set but still fudgy.
  9. Cool completely before slicing. Brownies firm significantly as they cool.

Notes

For a 9×9 Pan (Slightly Thicker Brownies):

Use the following adjusted amounts:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
  • 8 oz (about 1 1/3 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 TBSP cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate chunks

Bake at 350°F for 30–40 minutes, until center reaches 198–200°F.

Important: Brownies may look very soft while hot. They finish setting as they cool. For clean slices, refrigerate 30–60 minutes before cutting.
