Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.

Step 3

Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
