Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
