- cocoa powder
- sugaruse brown sugar for chewier texture

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Brown your butter to exactly 350°F until milk solids turn hazelnut-colored and smell nutty - this creates lactones that add 3x more flavor complexity than regular melted butter.technique350°F
- ✓Cool your melted chocolate mixture to 110-120°F before adding eggs to prevent the proteins from coagulating and creating a grainy texture.timing110-120°F
- ✓Use a 70:30 ratio of brown sugar to white sugar - brown sugar's molasses content adds moisture and creates chewy texture through its 6% water content and acidic pH.ingredient70:30 ratio
- ✓Mix your batter only until just combined (15-20 gentle folds) because overmixing develops gluten strands that create cake-like texture instead of fudgy density.technique15-20 folds
- ✓Bake at 325°F instead of higher temperatures to prevent the edges from setting too quickly while the center remains underbaked, ensuring even fudgy texture throughout.timing325°F
