Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is crucial; adjust based on your taste preferences.
Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and a hint of caramel-like richness.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for action when you’re done mixing your batter. This ensures perfect baking conditions right from the start.

Melt Your Butter and Combine Sugars: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined and glossy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until everything is beautifully blended – this creates that silky texture we love.

Sift Dry Ingredients Together: In another bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder with a pinch of salt. This step makes sure there are no lumps and gives your cake that smooth consistency.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be gentle here; over-mixing can lead to dense brownies instead of light ones! For more inspiration, check out this Sno Ball Brownies Recipe recipe.

Add Chocolate Chips and Bake!: Gently fold in those delightful chocolate chips – trust me, you don’t want to skip this step! Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
