Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Tips
- For an extra chocolatey treat, sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent dessert.
- For a minty twist, add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the wet ingredients.
