Add the granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly glossy. This step is crucial for achieving that signature crinkly top.

Whisk in the large eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. Continue to whisk for another minute until the mixture is smooth and lightened in color.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before attempting to cut them. This allows them to set properly and become fudgy.

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 9 or 12 equal squares and serve.
