Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 170 grams / 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 150 grams / 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 125 grams / 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 10–12 drops Wilton red food coloring
- 170 grams / 1 cup white chocolate chips
Flavoring and Texture:
- 30 grams / 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3.7 milliliters / ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.7 milliliters / ¾ teaspoon white vinegar
Seasoning:
- 2.5 grams / ½ teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Combine melted butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, table salt, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the texture becomes glossy and uniform.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and white vinegar into the mixture. Whisk until the batter turns smooth and consistent.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour while mixing. Drop in red food coloring as you stir, adjusting the shade to your liking.
- Mix in half of the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to level the surface.
- Scatter the remaining white chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool inside the pan for 1 hour to set properly before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Adjust the red food coloring gradually to control the color intensity.
- Do not overmix once the flour is added to avoid a dense texture.
- Let the brownies cool fully before slicing to maintain clean edges.
- Use parchment paper with overhang for easy removal from the pan.
- White chocolate chips can be swapped with dark or semi-sweet for a richer flavor.
