Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar; beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist but not sticky.
- Allow to cool before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Ensure not to overbake; the center should remain fudgy and moist.
- For added flavor, add chopped nuts or swirl in caramel before baking.
- Cooling completely enhances the texture before slicing.
