Instructions:
-
Begin by placing 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips along with the butter in a saucepan over very low heat. Stir continuously until melted, ensuring not to scorch the chocolate. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature.
-
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
If your walnuts are not already toasted, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the nuts cool before chopping them.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
-
Sift the all-purpose flour and gradually add it to the egg mixture, mixing well after each addition until thoroughly blended.
-
Once the melted chocolate has cooled, add it to the batter and mix well. Then, gently fold in the chopped walnuts if you’re using them.
-
Stir in the remaining chocolate chips (approximately 1 1/4 cups) into the batter until evenly distributed.
-
Grease a 9×11-inch baking pan and pour the batter into it, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
-
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares. This recipe yields approximately 15 brownies, though the exact number may vary depending on your preferred size.
Enjoy the irresistible combination of rich chocolate and crunchy walnuts in every decadent bite of these Chocolate Chip Brownies! Perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying as a sweet indulgence any time of the day.
