  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt 0.5 cup butter and 1 cup chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
