Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Hershey's cocoa powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a spoon after each addition until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Gradually stir in Hershey's cocoa powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the cocoa mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Step 9
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
