Fudgy Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the brownies are completely cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan.
- Cut into squares and serve.
