Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  3. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture until just combined.
  7. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour in the brownie batter, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, keeping an eye out for a slightly underbaked texture.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into desired sizes.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. You can also use brown sugar for a richer flavor or add peanut butter for a delightful twist.
