Steps

  1. Heat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk melted butter and sugar, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Stir in cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder just until combined. Fold in chips.
  4. Spread in the pan and bake 20–25 minutes, until the center is just set.
  5. Cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
Tip: Pull them when a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs — that's fudgy, not underdone.
