Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, and eggs until smooth and glossy, no lumps visible.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in flour and salt just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

  4. Step 4

    Spread batter evenly in the skillet. Bake 12–14 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center has a few moist crumbs.

  5. Step 5

    Cool 5 minutes in the skillet before cutting into squares. Serve warm or room temperature.
