- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Brownies
Mixing the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Preparing the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure the brownies stay chewy.
Adding Chocolate Chips
Stir in the chocolate chips to add bursts of chocolaty goodness throughout the brownies.
Baking the Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. For an extra crispy edge, make sure to bake until the edges are firm and slightly darker.
4. Storage Tips for Fudgy Brownies
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. To keep the crispy edge crisp, reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer before serving.
