For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Don't overbake! Slightly underbaked brownies are fudgier. Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for extra flair.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter an 8x8-inch metal baking pan to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes. This prevents the eggs from cooking when added. (Cook time: 7 minutes)
Whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter should be glossy and smooth. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges. (Prep time: 1 minute)
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. (Bake time: 20-25 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before cutting into squares. This allows the brownies to set properly. (Cooling time: 45 minutes)
