Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

If using chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies).

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your scrumptious brownies!
