  • In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until glossy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  • In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

Notes

For fudgy brownies, pull them out when the center still looks slightly soft.
