The Best Fudgy Brownies

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 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 cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended for extra fudginess)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Be careful not to overheat!
- Once melted, add the granulated sugar to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Next, whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage to ensure an even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Remember, the brownies will continue to cook as they cool.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
These fudgy brownies are sure to be a hit, whether you serve them at a party or enjoy them on a cozy night in. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
