Ingredients

115 g (½ cup) unsalted butter
200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
100 g (½ cup packed) brown sugar
2 large eggs (about 100 g)
5 g (1 tsp) vanilla extract
65 g (¾ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
3 g (½ tsp) salt
100 g (about ⅔ cup) chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line an 8 × 8 inch / 20 × 20 cm pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. Melt the 115 g butter and let it cool slightly.
Step 3. Whisk together the melted butter, 200 g granulated sugar, and 100 g brown sugar.
Step 4. Add the 2 eggs and 5 g vanilla. Whisk until smooth and slightly glossy.
Step 5. Add the 65 g cocoa powder, 95 g flour, and 3 g salt.
Step 6. Fold everything together just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
Step 7. Fold in the 100 g chocolate chips.
Step 8. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Step 9. Bake for 25–30 minutes. The center should look set but still slightly soft, and a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs rather than completely clean.
Step 10. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
