Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x11 inch baking dish so the brownies don’t stick. In a big bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar together until it’s nice and smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract. Next, toss in the flour, salt, and cocoa powder, mixing just until everything is combined—don’t overdo it. If you like, fold in some chopped walnuts for a little crunch. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top looks dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides. Let it cool before slicing into squares so it sets up nicely.

How to serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. They also pair well with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
