Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. If using nuts, gently fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 7

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy your rich and fudgy Mama S Brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
