Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs when adding them next.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, into the chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the remaining 0.5 cup of chocolate chips for melty pockets of chocolate in the finished brownies.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before lifting the brownies out using the parchment overhang.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
