Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated and brown sugar until combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
