Step 1
Preheat the 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 unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.

Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Step 5
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, and gently fold the mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these rich, fudgy brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
