Equipment

1 9x13 inch baking pan greased
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Whisk

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a fudgy texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Serving and Storage

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

How to Serve: Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
