Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until glossy and well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, then fold gently until no dry streaks remain.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
Notes
Let the brownies cool fully before slicing for cleaner edges and a better fudgy texture.
Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added or the brownies can turn cakey.
For extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips over the top before baking.
