Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square light-colored metal pan with parchment, leaving a little overhang, and lightly grease the paper.
- Whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until glossy and well combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold just until no dry streaks remain, then fold in the chocolate chips without overmixing.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center shows moist crumbs rather than wet batter.
- Cool completely in the pan on a rack before lifting out with the parchment and slicing into 16 squares.
