Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully liquid, then remove from heat.
- Stir sugar into the melted butter until combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense brownies. Allow cooling for clean cuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
