Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or in the body of a stand mixer, mix the butter and brown sugar. It will not thoroughly combine, but that’s okay.
1 cup salted butter, 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
Add the eggs and vanilla mix to combine.
2 large eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in the flour; the mixture will be thick.
Add the chocolate chips and combine.
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Press the dough into the prepared baking dish evenly.
Add more chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the top is no longer glossy and a toothpick inserted into the center has moist crumbs; do not overbake.
Allow to cool completely, and then cut into bars.

Use a rubber spatula to spread the dough into an even layer.
Don’t overbake! The top should look set but not dry.
Line your prepared baking pan with parchment paper for the cleanest cut.
Let bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
For an extra chocolatey treat, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top right after baking.
