Chocolate brownie

Here's a classic chocolate brownie recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Powdered sugar or additional cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Then whisk in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.

Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Once cooled, you can dust the brownies with powdered sugar or cocoa powder, if desired.

Cut into squares or bars and serve. Enjoy!

Note: You can also customize your brownies by adding in chocolate chips, caramel swirls, or other mix-ins to suit your taste preferences.
