Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, folding gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- 5
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

💡 Chef tips
- For the fudgiest texture, do not overbake; the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
- To achieve a clean cut, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for an hour before slicing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished brownies should have a shiny, paper-thin crackly crust on top with a dense, moist, and intensely chocolatey interior that tastes like a cross between fudge and cake.
