Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter by microwaving it for 30-40 seconds, or until fully melted.

Step 2

Stir 1 cup of granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add 2 large eggs to the bowl, one at a time, whisking well after each addition to fully incorporate them.

Step 5

Sift in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in 0.5 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra richness.

Step 7

Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Microwave the dish on high power for 3-4 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at the 3-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready. Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage.

Step 9

Let the brownies cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
