Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
- Add the flour and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the chocolate squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the chocolate squares out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Cut the chocolate squares into desired-sized squares or rectangles.
- Optional: Dust the chocolate squares with powdered sugar before serving.
