Fudgy Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). To prevent the brownies from sticking, cover a 9x9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. As the butter melts, add sugar and stir until it dissolves completely. Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat source.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs until they become light and fluffy. Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, constantly whisking until everything is fully incorporated. Add a hint of vanilla flavor to the mixture.

To create the brownie base, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture until they form a cohesive whole. Stir in chopped walnuts to add texture.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with small crumbs clinging to it. This should take around 45-50 minutes, or until the brownies are set. Avoid overbaking, as this can result in dry and unpleasantly textured brownies.
