Are these leavening agents in brownies?

No, there aren’t. By not having any leavening agents the brownies only rely on eggs for the rise and will yield a gooier, more fudgy dessert instead of one resembling chocolate cake.

Why don't my brownies have a shiny top?

If you’re missing that iconic shiny top, chances are you didn’t beat the eggs and sugar long enough. Not to worry, they will still taste amazing, and now you have an excuse to bake another batch!

What is the best way to cleanly cut brownies?

Ok, I have the BEST trick for cleanly cutting brownies! Use a plastic, disposable serrated knife! It sounds a little weird, but I started using this trick a few months ago and have NEVER looked back!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8x8 inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray
In a medium sized pot over medium- low heat, add your butter and let it melt completely
While butter is melting, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside
Once the butter is melted, turn off the heat and add 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into it. Stir that until it is smooth and silky
When the chocolate chips are all melted, add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla directly into the pot and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or whisk for 1-2 minutes
Next, pour in the dry ingredients you set aside and add an additional 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Stir until JUST combined and there are no traces of flour left
Pour the warm brownie batter into your prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer
Bake in preheated oven for 27-29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs
Carefully pull your crinkle top brownies out of the oven and let them cool completely before cutting them into squares

Notes

Use good quality chocolate chips
Vigorously beat the eggs and sugar into the butter mixture
Don’t overmix the dry ingredients
Pour brownie batter into prepared pan when it is still warm, don’t let your batter sit and cool off before baking
Crinkle top brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs
Let them cool completely before cutting with a disposable, serrated knife
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days
