Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this absolute chocolate dream! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, I like to butter my baking pan (it really helps to prevent sticking!). In one large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer, but if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic, you can definitely do it by hand with a whisk—trust me; it gives a nice arm workout!
