Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until glossy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, then fold gently until just combined.

5. Stir in the chocolate chips.

6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

7. Bake for 28 to 34 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.

8. Cool completely before lifting from the pan and slicing into squares.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even mixing.

Do not overmix once the flour is added or the brownies can lose their fudgy texture.

Let the brownies cool fully before slicing so the centers set properly and the squares cut cleanly.
