Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Forms the base of the brownie structure.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder Provides rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder Helps the brownies rise slightly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall sweetness and flavor balance.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted Adds moisture and richness.
  • 1 cup Sugar Sweetens the brownies and contributes to fudgy texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind ingredients together and create a rich texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor.
Chocolate Ingredients
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips Creates pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch square metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk together until combined, then let cool until just warm.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract into the warm butter mixture and whisk vigorously until smooth (about 20-30 seconds).
  6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for about 28-33 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool completely for 3-4 hours in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Let brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
