Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before proceeding to avoid cooking the eggs in step 4.

Step 4

Stir in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. The batter will become glossy and thick.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense brownies.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).

Step 9

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