Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I like to arrange my ingredients first, so I always begin by melting the butter in a large mixing bowl. Once it’s cooled slightly, I whisk in the sugar until it’s well combined. This creates a beautiful base that will result in chewy brownies. Next, I add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition, and finish it off with the vanilla extract. It’s the aroma of the vanilla that lifts my spirits!
