Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch pan.
2. Melt the butter, then stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Mix dry ingredients (cocoa, flour, salt, baking powder) in a separate bowl.
4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures—don’t overmix.
5. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
6. Pour into pan and spread evenly.
