Step-by-Step Instructions for Gooey Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a bowl. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until smooth.
Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold into the wet ingredients.
Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 28 minutes. Insert a skewer to check for moist crumbs for doneness.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
