Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown Butter Brookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the unsalted butter and melt until it turns golden-brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, pour the cooled brown butter and add both sugars. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in another bowl.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set with a slightly moist center.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
