For the Brownies:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra fudge factor)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
Add dry ingredients: Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until just combined — do not overmix.
Add chocolate chips if using, and fold them in.
Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not clean).
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For clean cuts, chill for 30 minutes before slicing.

💡 Simply Made Tip:

For ultra-fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them and let them cool completely before slicing — the texture sets as they cool for that perfect chewy bite.
