Ingredients
Before we get into the steps, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: white chocolate chips or cream cheese frosting for topping
Steps to Create Your Brownies
-
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish (8×8 or 9×9) with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
Melt the butter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar until combined.
-
Mix in wet ingredients: Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Stir until everything is well mixed.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!
-
Pour into pan: Transfer the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake: Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before lifting them out. Cut into squares and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of frosting.
Cooking Tips
- Don’t overbake: The key to fudgy brownies is to take them out of the oven when they look slightly underdone.
- Mix it up: You can add white chocolate chips to the batter before baking for an extra creamy bite.
