Snoop Dogg’s Copycat Brownies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in both the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.

3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.

8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before using the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and onto a cutting board. Slice into squares and enjoy.
