Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs essential for binding
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract for flavor
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder helps them rise
  • 1 tsp salt balances sweetness
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring the star ingredient
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
  • cream cheese frosting

Equipment

  • 9×13 inch baking pan
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Step 6: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Step 7: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  9. Step 9: Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Step 10: Once completely cooled, top with cream cheese frosting if desired. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
