  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Should be at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  3. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
