Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing or lining it.
  • Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and allow the browned butter to cool slightly. Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of packed light brown sugar in a large bowl, then add the cooled brown butter.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¾ cup of cocoa powder in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped nuts if desired.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Allow cooling in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Cool before cutting to maintain fudgy texture and watch the butter carefully while browning to avoid burning.
