Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
