Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined to evenly distribute the leavening and flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream the melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and light, creating a smooth base for the batter.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the brownies tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter, adding texture and bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  7. Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft for a fudgy texture.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie balls to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as a perfect handheld sweet treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to your preference.
  • For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the batter.
  • Ensure not to overbake the brownie balls; slightly underbaked centers yield a moist, fudgy texture.
  • These brownie balls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend.
