Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

   • Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Butter:

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   • Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Bake the Brownies:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
