Mixing Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
