### Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Next, sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined; do not overmix! If you’re feeling a bit extra, fold in some chocolate chips for added richness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Enjoy your fudgy brownies with a scoop of ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, and watch everyone smile with satisfaction!
These homemade brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you’ll find yourself making them over and over again. Happy baking!
