   1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar

   2 large eggs

Notes

Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Freezing: Brownies freeze well. Wrap individual pieces tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Baking Tip: For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to finish setting as they cool.

Cutting Tip: For clean slices, let brownies cool completely and wipe the knife between cuts.

Tips for Perfectly Fudgy Brownies

For the best results, avoid overbaking the brownies. The center should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven, as the brownies will continue to set while cooling.

How to Get the Perfect Gooey Center

Bake until the edges look set but the middle still looks a little soft. The brownies keep setting as they cool, so pulling them a bit early helps keep them fudgy. Let them cool before slicing (or chill for 20–30 minutes for super clean cuts).

Storage & Freezing

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap individual brownies tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
