Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture; stir until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before slicing into squares.
