Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract

Optional Add-ins & Toppings

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • Powdered sugar or mint frosting for dusting or coating

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth assembly process.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Cocoa: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely, then whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth to form the rich chocolate base.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat the eggs with granulated sugar in a separate bowl until combined and slightly fluffy. Stir in vanilla and mint extract to infuse the mixture with warm and refreshing flavors.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture, combining gently to maintain a fudgy texture. Add chocolate chips now if you’re using them.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature before adding any toppings.
  6. Add Minty Frosting or Dust: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or spread a thin layer of mint frosting for that classic fresh finish. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for intense chocolate flavor.
  • Stir just until combined to keep brownies soft and tender.
  • Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense brownies.
  • Start with a small amount of mint extract to avoid overpowering the chocolate.
  • Check brownies a few minutes before baking time ends to prevent overbaking.
