Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon red gel food coloring (adjust for desired color)

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Cream cheese frosting (optional, for drizzling or spreading)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate. Stir in the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring until evenly combined.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few flour streaks are okay.

          Add Mix-Ins (Optional): If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts for added flavor and texture.

            Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

              Cool and Frost (Optional): Once baked, remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack. For an extra touch, drizzle or spread cream cheese frosting over the top after they’ve cooled.

                Cut and Serve: Once completely cool, cut the brownies into squares and enjoy the fudgy, decadent texture of these red velvet delights!
