Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls.
To one bowl, fold in the chocolate chips. This will be your vanilla batter.
To the other bowl, mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder and milk until the batter is smooth and well blended. This will be your chocolate batter.
Spoon dollops of the chocolate and vanilla batters alternately into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl so you retain the distinct patterns.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the marble squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Marble Squares!
