Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies

These brownies are super chocolatey. I found this recipe on Pinterest and the recipe is from somethingswanky.com.

Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Ingredients:

1/2 C butter, room temperature

1 C granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1/2 C flour

1/2 C cocoa powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 C chocolate chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat to oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X9 baking dish with parchment paper and grease it. 

2. Beat together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. 

3. Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix in the baking soda.

4. Mix in the chocolate chunks with a wooden spoon or spatula. 

5. Once batter forms, scrape into baking dish and spread evenly.

6. Bake for 25 minutes, until brownie begins to pull away. 

Alternatives:

- For a more cake like brownies, use baking powder instead of baking soda and whisk the batter to add air.

- Don't like chocolate chunks? Use 1 C chocolate chips, or mini chocolate chips, or you can omit the chocolate chips.

- Like a firmer rather than fudgy brownie? Bake for 5-10 minutes longer until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Enjoy!
