Ingredients
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter ((2 1/2 sticks))
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chocolate chips ((I prefer milk chocolate chips))
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, mist a 9x9-inch metal baking pan with non-stick spray, and line it with a sheet of parchment.
Place the sugar, cocoa, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl,* and microwave in one-minute increments, stirring, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture feels quite hot to the touch (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition.
Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just a few streaks remain.
Stir in about 2/3 of the chocolate chips and vanilla, and transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top , and bake until set around the edges but still soft towards the middle (approximately 25 to 35 minutes).
Cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares.

Faith H on 2024-02-09 (5 stars): These are the absolute best brownies I have ever made! They were soo easy which was a happy plus. I will definitely be keeping this recipe! They are perfectly fudgy but not TOO fudgy. Thank you, Allie, for this wonderful recipe!
Catherine on 2024-02-04 (5 stars): Made them a few days ago and my husband's been raving about them ever since. I was a little short on cocoa and not in the mood to run to the store, so I melted in 2 squares of bittersweet baking chocolate--it still came out awesome. Had milk chocolate chips on hand and they seemed perfect with it as well. Will definitely make again. Thanks!!
