Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0 Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sea salt, or caramel drizzle

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, a pinch of sea salt, or drizzle caramel on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake!).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Cut into 12 squares or your preferred size and enjoy the fudgiest, most decadent brownies ever!
