Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, and eggs until smooth and glossy, no lumps visible.
Step 3
Fold in flour and salt just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 4
Spread batter evenly in the skillet. Bake 12–14 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center has a few moist crumbs.
Step 5
Cool 5 minutes in the skillet before cutting into squares. Serve warm or room temperature.
