Ingredients
- 1/2 cup AP flour

- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and/or chunks (I like Trader Joes) plus additional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350
- Spray a 8x8 inch pan with non-stick spray, line with parchment and set aside
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt then set aside
- In a medium microwave safe mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and heat on high for about a minute until butter is melted then whisk until smooth
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and vanilla
- Whisk in the egg and the egg yolk until well combined
- Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined
- Stir in your chocolate chips and/or chunks using a spatula to make sure you have all the dry ingredients well incorporated, then scrape the brownie batter in to the middle of the prepared pan and spread gently to the edges.
- Dot with a few more chocolate chunks if desired!
- Bake 35-38 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center just has wet crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan, slicing and serving!
