Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line an 8-inch skillet or baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in cocoa powder and sugar until smooth and glossy.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then vanilla, flour, and salt until no streaks remain.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading level.
