### **Instructions**

#### **1. Prepare the Batter:**
1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.

#### **2. Bake the Brownies:**
1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (don’t overbake to keep the brownies fudgy!).
3. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.

#### **3. Serve:**
- Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
- For an indulgent dessert, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, and garnish with berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
