Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquid. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, spreading them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge should come out with crumbs, but the center may still be moist.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the Chocolate Yum Yums to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes.

Step 11

Optional: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 12

Cut into squares or bars and serve. Enjoy your irresistible Chocolate Yum Yums!
