Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated into the butter.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing completely after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the 9x9 greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chunks or chips on top of the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to over bake as you want the brownies to be moist and fudgy.
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and serve, enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to ensure better incorporation into the batter.Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to prevent tough brownies.You can customize the recipe by adding nuts or other mix-ins along with the chocolate chunks.Serve the brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.Once the brownies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For extended storage, you can freeze the
brownies for up to 2-3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe container before freezing. Thaw the frozen brownies at room temperature or in the refrigerator before enjoying.
