Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges extend beyond the pan for easy removal of the brownies.

- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out for easy cutting and serving.
