Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the brownies after baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined. Next, add the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder and white vinegar, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain to avoid overmixing.
- Optional Addition: Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into 9 squares and serve.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to set as they cool.
- Top with cream cheese frosting for a richer, more decadent dessert experience.
