One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.
- Whisk butter and sugar, then eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined, then fold in chips.
- Spread in the pan and bake 22–25 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not liquid batter. Cool about 1 hour before slicing.
A little kitchen know-how
A metal pan cooks more predictably than a thick glass dish; check the center before removing.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
