Ingredients (12 servings)
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (40g) dark or Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Combine the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the bars out later.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Then, whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold them together with a spatula until just a few streaks of flour are left. Add the chocolate chips and continue to fold until everything is combined and the flour streaks are gone.
Press Into the Pan and Bake for ~30 Minutes
The dough will be thick. Press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for ~28-32 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center might still seem slightly underdone – it will continue to firm up as it cools. Let the bars cool in the pan before lifting them out and slicing.
