How to Make Scratch Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
