How to Make Chewy Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or your preferred substitute (1/2 cup chocolate chips, M&Ms, etc.).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
