Ingredients
  

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Optional: a pinch of sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang on the sides to help lift the brownies out easily later. For added assurance against sticking, lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure it doesn’t overheat. Once melted, let it cool for a few minutes to prevent cooking the eggs when mixed in.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: After the butter has cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Add the eggs one by one, whisking vigorously after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well blended.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients until they are evenly mixed and free of lumps.

          Incorporate Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon to fold them together gently. Be careful not to over mix; stop when just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

              Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. After cooling, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut them into bite-sized squares or use a small cookie cutter for fun shapes. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an extra flavorful twist.

                Serve and Enjoy: These delightful brownie bites can be enjoyed at room temperature or warmed slightly in the microwave for a melty chocolate experience. They're perfect for sharing at parties or indulging in as a sweet treat alongside your favorite beverage!
