1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 8×12 brownie pan with cooking spray. Melt butter in 20 second increments in a large microwave safe bowl. Whisk sugar, brown sugar and vanilla into hot butter until smooth. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
