Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of brownie and cookie in every bite!
