Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture!).

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares and serving.
