Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Line a 20 cm x 20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Use a whisk or hand mixer to beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar-egg mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chocolate chunks for extra gooeyness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as this will affect the fudgy texture.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
