  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

Method
 

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and the walnuts if using.
  7. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before lifting out with the parchment paper and cutting into squares.

Notes

Use melted butter for a fudgier texture. Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to prevent tough bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature.
