# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -

05 -
Fold in vanilla extract evenly throughout the batter.
06 -
Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9x9 inch baking pan and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow brownies to cool completely, preferably chilled in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, before slicing into 16 squares.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Beating eggs and sugars until thick ensures a crinkly top while chilling brownies before slicing helps achieve clean cuts.
02 -
Use ceremonial grade matcha for a vibrant color and superior flavor.
03 -
Avoid overbaking to keep brownies soft and fudgy.
