Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated white sugar together until well combined.
  3. Add the 2 large eggs and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously for about one minute until the mixture lightens in color.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt, then fold gently with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25–28 minutes until the edges are set and slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan, while the center still has a soft jiggle when the pan is shaken.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours.
