  5. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Tips

  • For extra chewiness, do not overbake the brownies.
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor.
  • Add chocolate chips or walnuts for more texture.
  • Let brownies rest overnight for best taste and texture.
  • Cut with a warm knife for neat slices.
