Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease.

Add Eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
Optional: Fold in chocolate chips if desired.

Cool: Let brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting to keep the crackly top intact.
