Step 1: Preheat and Prep - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you want to make it easier to remove your brownies later, line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In your mixing bowl, add the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Using a whisk, mix until well combined and smooth. The mixture should be glossy.
Step 3: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients - Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until you no longer see flour.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips - Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter. This will add pockets of melty chocolate goodness throughout.
Step 5: Pour and Spread - Pour your brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using the spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 6: Top with More Chocolate Chips - Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter for an extra chocolaty finish.
Step 7: Bake - Bake your brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 8: Cool and Cut - Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
