Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until mixed thoroughly.

Baking the Brownies

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.

Pour Batter and Bake
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading 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.

Cool and Cut
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
