  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, chili powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean but still slightly moist.
  7. Allow to cool before slicing into squares.
