Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add vanilla extract.

  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the brownies completely in the pan.
