Description
Rich, fudgy brownies with a textured, slightly coarse topping resembling Chewbacca’s fur.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (for texture)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake them by 2-3 minutes.
- The chopped nuts provide the necessary texture for the ‘Chewbacca’ look.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
