Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper (leave an overhang for easy removal) and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high for 2 minutes, until the mixture is pale and thickened.
  4. Add the cocoa-oil mixture to the egg-sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until incorporated.
  6. Fold in ¾ cup all-purpose flour with a spatula until no flour streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in ¾ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 23–24 minutes, until the top is dry and the sides begin to crack (the center may still be slightly soft).
  10. Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before using the foil/parchment overhang to lift and slice the brownies.
