How to Make Ghirardelli Award Winning Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the melted Ghirardelli chocolate, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
