Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs. The center should still look slightly underdone.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze wrapped individually for up to 3 months. For best results, use room temperature eggs and high-quality cocoa powder. These brownies taste even better the day after baking as the flavors develop.
