Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp peppermint extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour to the butter mixture. Stir until no lumps remain and the batter is uniform.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
5. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
7. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes them easier to serve.
