  • Then add the chocolate chips to the batter. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, fold them in.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean in the center.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes in the pan before cutting into the brownies.
