Preheat oven to 160℃. Grease and line a 6 inches square cake tin with parchment paper.
Melt butter over very low heat. While waiting for the butter to melt, chop chocolate into small pieces. Once butter has melted, turn off the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Add sugar and whisk for about 30 – 45 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Add egg to the butter-chocolate-sugar mix and whisk until the egg is all well incorporated, for about 1 minute.
Next, add vanilla extract and mix well. Sift flour, salt and cocoa powder into the mixture and fold them in until well incorporated.
Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and level the top.
Bake for about 20 minutes at 160℃. Remove brownie from oven and let it cool in tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 9 pieces or larger piece as desired and serve.

Always make sure you keep to the baking time and tin size as mentioned in this chocolate brownies recipe. If you change the tin size, the baking time has to be adjusted accordingly.

For larger tin sizes, since the batter is spread thinner, you would need to reduce your baking time. And for smaller tin sizes, since the batter is spread thicker, it would require a longer baking time.

These changes are the single most frequent reason why people often end up with over baked or under baked brownies.

If a chocolate brownie recipe calls for a metal tin and you bake yours in a glass dish, be mindful that the baking time would need to be adjusted accordingly as brownies tend to bake faster in metal tins as compared to glass dishes.

Oven temperature is another factor that could affect the texture of your chocolate brownies. The tricky thing about oven temperatures is that different ovens require different degrees of heat for the same results.

You should ideally set your oven temperature to the heat you use when baking cakes.
