• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. If you’re using a loaf pan or foil tray like in the photo, make sure to grease it well.

2. Melt the butter and mix with sugar:
   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until smooth and glossy. Let the mixture cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs.

3. Whisk in wet ingredients:
   Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Add dry ingredients:
   Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix. If you’re adding chocolate chips or chunks, fold them in now.

5. Pour into the pan and bake:
   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake if you want a fudgy texture.

6. Cool and slice:
   Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and enhances their dense, chewy texture.

These Fudgy Homemade Chocolate Brownies are the ultimate comfort dessert—rich, decadent, and dangerously delicious.
