Ingredients:

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking powder (optional for a slight lift)

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder (if using).
   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the ingredients are combined.
4. Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts (Optional):
   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts if desired.
5. Bake the Brownies:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking to maintain chewiness).
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
   • Cut into squares and serve.

Tips for Perfect Brownies:

• For Extra Fudgy Brownies: Reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
• For a Shinier Top: Beat the sugar and eggs until they’re light and frothy before adding the butter.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
