Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt 0.5 cup butter and 1 cup chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk in 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in 0.5 cup flour, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. Step 5

    Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 25-30 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Melt remaining 0.5 cup chocolate chips and drizzle over top. Cut into squares and serve.
