The best, homemade from scratch brownies! They are fudgy with soft, flaky top, melt-in-your-mouth! They taste and look like they were made out of the box mix but are quick, easy and made in one bowl!
Line an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
Place butter and chocolate in large mixing bowl. Melt in microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between each - until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Whisk melted chocolate few times. Add eggs, one at a time, whisk well after each addition. Whisk the whole mixture really well.
Add sugar and mix well.
Add vanilla and salt and whisk in.
Add sifted flour and cocoa powder and stir in with a spatula.
If desired, stir in additional chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into prepared pan. Smooth out the top. Tap the pan against the counter to release air bubbles.
Bake brownies for 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Remove from pan and cut into 9 squares.
Store in a single layer in ziploc bag - they will stay soft for days.
