Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cups unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 cups cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon tsp salt
  • 1 cup cups semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a chewier texture, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough brownies.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fresh and stored properly to avoid foodborne illness.
• Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
