Servings: 12
Calories: 443kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 8 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate (bars or chips)
- 1 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 Large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 8 oz chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until glossy and fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. This step helps create the dense, chewy texture Starbucks brownies are known for.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold into the batter just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for (30-35) minutes, until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly underbaked. A toothpick should come out with thick, fudgy crumbs, not clean.
- Cool completely in the pan (at least 2 hours) before slicing. This is crucial for the signature dense texture.
Notes
Do not overbake — they should look slightly underdone in the center.
Let brownies cool completely before cutting and serving the brownies.
Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts when serving.
For extra indulgence, chill brownies before slicing.
Store the leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days.
