Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 4 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy Mike's favorite dessert!
