Description
These homemade brownies are rich, chewy, and irresistibly indulgent. Made with cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, and a touch of vanilla, they’re perfectly balanced with a fudgy texture and crispy edges. Customize them with nuts or extra chocolate chips for even more decadence.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
