Ingredients
butter
1 1/2 cups (softened to room temperature)
sugar
3 cups (granulated)
vanilla extract
3 teaspoons (pure or imitation)
eggs
6 (large)
flour
1 1/2 cups (all-purpose)
cocoa powder
1 cup (unsweetened)

1 teaspoon (fine)

2 cups (semi-sweet)
cinnamon
2 teaspoons (optional, ground)
nuts
1 cup (optional, chopped (like walnuts or pecans))
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the sides for easy removal, or grease thoroughly with Crisco.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, two at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
4
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon until well combined.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, approximately 3/4 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition.
6
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts by hand, being careful not to over-mix.
7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
8
If using a light-colored glass dish, bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. If using a dark-colored dish, reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for 50-55 minutes.
9
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies; they are done when the toothpick comes out clean, and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan.
10
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
