### Easy Brownies with Cooking Chocolate
#### Ingredients:
– 1 cup cooking chocolate, chopped
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or sea salt for topping
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped cooking chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each round, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add granulated sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
7. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips, nuts, or a pinch of sea salt on top for extra flavor and texture.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake if you prefer fudgy brownies.
9. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
