- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat the oven to 350°F. |
| 2 | Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan. |
| 3 | Line the pan with parchment paper, ensuring the ends extend above the pan on two sides; lightly grease the paper. |
| 4 | In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. This can be done on a small piece of waxed paper to minimize cleanup. |
| 5 | In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. |
| 6 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the unsweetened chocolate, stirring until the chocolate melts completely. |
| 7 | Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs into the chocolate mixture, directly in the saucepan used for melting the chocolate. |
| 8 | Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips to the saucepan, stirring until just blended. |
| 9 | Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. |
| 10 | Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is firm when lightly touched. Be careful not to overbake. |
| 11 | Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. |
| 12 | Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper ends and transfer them to a cutting board. |
| 13 | The parchment paper should peel easily off before cutting into squares. |
These brownies are best enjoyed with a tall glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat. They make a delightful addition to any dessert table or a thoughtful gift for friends and family. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor and the melt-in-your-mouth texture that will keep you coming back for more! 🍫🍪
