Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt if using table salt, use 1/2 tsp or less
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x13 metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and sugars. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
    1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar
  • Add the extract, eggs, and cocoa powder, and whisk in.
    2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Then, add the dry ingredients. The dough will begin to look quite thick.
    1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tbs cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
    1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just done. Be careful not to overbake or the bars can turn out a little dry.
  • Remove from the oven, let the bars rest in the pan for about 5 minutes, then lift the parchment up and out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice with a sharp knife into bars or squares, and serve! (For extra clean cuts, either refrigerate the bars or let them cool completely first. Otherwise, the melted chocolate chips can make them messy.)
