Ingredients

Scale

1 cup butter (melted)
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs

½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix!
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them and let them cool completely before slicing.
Want a deeper chocolate flavor? Add 1 teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
