2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until creamy.
3️⃣ Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gently fold into the wet mixture without overmixing.
4️⃣ Add Extras & Bake:

Notes
✔️ For ultra-fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.
✔️ For a crackly top, beat the eggs and sugar well.
✔️ For even slicing, chill brownies before cutting.
