Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey bite.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Step 10

Dust the brownies with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
