Best Chewy Brownies Recipe – The Ultimate Fudgy Delight!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.

Melt Butter and Mix with Sugar:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar. Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate.

Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean, for chewy texture).

Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Enjoy them as they are or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
