Now that we’ve got our mouth watering, let’s dive right into what you’ll need to whip up these delightful treats.
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 semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- If you want that extra chocolatey goodness, fold in the chocolate chips at this point.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
