Best Brownies Ever...Thick, Cake-like & So, So Chocolatey

Well, today's the Super Bowl and I got a request to bake one of my favorite desserts. These brownies are always a hit with family and friends and so easy to make. They are thick, soft, cake-like and chocolatey, just the way a good brownie should be. You can make them with or without chocolate chips and don't forget to serve a good quality vanilla ice cream. Everyone will be back for seconds!

These brownies are thick and delicious!

Here are the ingredients.

Combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one
at a time and mix with spoon until golden yellow.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add to butter & egg mixture until blended.

Spread batter evenly into greased baking dish.

GG's tip:  For easier cutting, use a plastic serrated knife. Your brownies will cut evenly without sticking.
