Ingredients

½ cups - unsalted butter
4 ounces - baking chocolate
¼ cups - white sugar
¾ cups - brown sugar
3 - eggs
2 teaspoons - vanilla extract
¼ cups - flour
¼ tsp - salt
¼ cups - Dutch-process cocoa
¾ cups - semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Put the 4 oz of chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma—about 5–7 minutes.
Remove butter from heat and pour melted brown butter along with the brown leftover bits in the pan into the bowl with the 4 oz baking chocolate. Quickly whisk until smooth. Let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the brown sugar and white sugar until glossy. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the flour, salt, and Dutch-process cocoa powder. Stir gently until just combined.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for melty pools of goodness in every bite.
Pour batter into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Place on a cooling rack while brownies are in the pan for 5 mins. Then remove brownies from the pan by lifting the parchment paper and place back on the cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
