- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, unsalted
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk it all together and set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add butter and 1/2 of the chocolate chips or chunks. Microwave in 30 second intervals until everything is melted.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fully incorporated. Then add chocolate mixture and continue to mix together.
- Add flour mixture and continue to mix for 3 minutes until everything is well combined. Gently fold in remaining chunks/chips. Place bowl with batter in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and thicken (important).

- Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from pan.
