Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until glossy.
  3. Incorporate 4 large eggs into the mixture one at a time, stirring vigorously. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. If desired, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
