One-Bowl Brownies

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, cocoa powder and vanilla. Stir until just moistened. Pour into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the warm brownies. Wait until the chips are partially melted, 3-5 minutes, and then use a flexible spatula to gently spread evenly over the brownies.

Serves 24.
