Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon red food coloring

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Cream cheese frosting (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until combined.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

            Add Red Color: Mix in the red food coloring until evenly distributed. Be mindful not to over-mix.

              Fold in Chocolate Chips & Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pecans or walnuts if using, ensuring they are well incorporated into the batter.

                Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudginess).

                    Cool and Frost (Optional): Allow brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, top with cream cheese frosting before cutting into squares.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve your delicious fudgy red velvet brownies to family and friends!
