Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat, then whisk in both sugars until combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Optionally sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until set but still soft in the middle; a toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and cutting into squares.
