Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until thick and pale (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking until fully combined.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick and glossy.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chunks for an extra layer of indulgence.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for maximum fudginess).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
