Ingredients
butter
1/2 cup (melted)
granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
eggs
2
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup
salt
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ((optional, for crunchy top))
semisweet chocolate
1 cup (chipped and tossed in flour)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly with the melted butter.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed. Set aside.
3
In a separate large bowl, blend together the granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet egg and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough brownies.
5
Toss the semisweet chocolate chips with a small amount of flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.
6
Fold the floured chocolate chips gently into the brownie batter.
7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; they continue to cook as they cool.
9
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, during which time the center will settle and the top will firm up.

Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
