Chop 1 stick of unsalted butter and melt it in a bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of packed brown sugar to the melted butter and mix well.

Add 2 slightly beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Fold in about 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
