Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
