Note

Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Variations: For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute half the sugar with brown sugar. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter.

Tip: Do not overbake the brownies, as they will continue to cook slightly while cooling. Overbaking can result in a dry texture.

Frosting Note: The frosting is optional. If you prefer a simpler version, you can serve the brownies plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
