How to Make Ghirardelli Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional).
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
