Ingredients

• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until the texture is smooth and fluffy.

3. 3

   Beat in the eggs one by one, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   In another bowl, mix the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and continue to mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.

6. 6

   Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

8. 8

   Let the Cocoa Delight cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
