Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter and sugars. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
