Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Then fold in chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift out using parchment overhang, slice, and enjoy.
