Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup sugar (brown sugar's the best)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp instant coffee (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep
   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
   • Line an 8x8 pan with parchment or lightly grease it
2. Mix the wet ingredients
   • In a bowl, whisk melted butter + sugar until well combined
   • Add eggs + vanilla and whisk until smooth and glossy
3. Add the dry ingredients
   • Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and instant coffee (if using) to the wet mixture
   • Stir until just combined — don't overmix
4. Bake (20-25 minutes)
   • Spread batter into the pan
   • Bake until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter)
   • Let cool 5-10 minutes so they slice cleanly
5. Most important step
   • Make a cup of tea because you can't have brownies without it!
   • Eat your delicious brownies! ^_^
