For the Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with salted butter, reduce added salt.

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Check freshness for best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cooled browned butter until smooth.
  4. Mix in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract until the mixture is cohesive.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in chocolate chips and nuts, if using, ensuring even distribution.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes; they’re done when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
