These Fudgy Brownies are easy gooey chocolate brownies with cocoa powder that are extra fudgy and best served with a cold glass of milk and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! This small batch recipe makes 4–6 brownies.
Optional – chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, or nuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly spray a 6 inch square baking pan with non-stick baking spray.
Line with a 6x10” parchment paper and spray again. Set aside.
In a saucepan (or microwave) heat the butter until completely melted.
Combine hot melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well for about one minute.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until lighter in color, about one minute.
Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder and salt into the wet ingredients until just combined (do NOT over mix).
Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly.
Optional - Top with chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, or nuts.
Bake for 40 - 45 minutes until the center of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles. If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out fudgy for chewy fudge-textured brownies.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack. The brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven.
Remove by lifting with the parchment paper that is hanging over the edges of the pan. Slice into 4 - 6 brownies. For the ultimate chewy texture, place the brownies in the fridge for an hour after baking and cooling at room temperature.

Notes
Chewy brownies must be slightly under baked. If you over bake them you will lose the fudginess.
