Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • Red, green, and white candy melts for decoration
  • Mini candy bows or holiday sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until smooth. Let it cool slightly before adding eggs and vanilla while whisking until glossy.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined; add chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before decorating.
  5. Cut into squares and decorate with melted candy melts as ribbons and mini bows or sprinkles.
