- Melt butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for about 45-60 seconds.
- Stir dark brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted butter until combined.
- Let the mixture cool for a minute, then whisk in eggs and vanilla extract for about 45-60 seconds until smooth.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda over the wet mixture and gently fold together until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick for a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes
For the best results, avoid overmixing once you add the flour, as it can lead to tough brownies. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for cleaner edges. Feel free to add nuts, swap sugars, or combine other ingredients like peppermint extract or salted caramel for variations. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy them warm with ice cream or as a delicious treat any time!
