#### Full Ingredients
– **1 cup** all-purpose flour
– **1/2 cup** unsweetened cocoa powder
– **1/2 teaspoon** baking soda
– **1/4 teaspoon** salt
– **1/2 cup** unsalted butter, softened
– **1/2 cup** brown sugar, packed
– **1/4 cup** granulated sugar
– **1 teaspoon** vanilla extract
– **1/4 cup** milk (or dairy-free alternative)
– **1/2 cup** chocolate chips (optional)
– **1/4 cup** chopped nuts (optional)

#### Full Instructions
1. **Prepare the Dry Ingredients**: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

2. **Cream the Butter and Sugars**: In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or a spatula. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. **Add Vanilla**: Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

4. **Incorporate Milk**: Pour in the milk (or dairy-free alternative) and mix until smooth and creamy.

5. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients**: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. **Add Optional Ingredients**: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

7. **Chill the Batter**: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the batter to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.

8. **Serve**: Scoop portions into small bowls, or create brownie batter bites by placing scoops into mini muffin tins and freezing. Enjoy as is, with whipped cream, or as a dip for fruits.

#### Notes
