Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and brown sugar, then add the browned butter and mix until creamy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour and cocoa powder, then gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Allow cooling before cutting into squares.
