  • 1 1/4 cups (249 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, (cold)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (128 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 8 by 8-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

    In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and sugar. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is melted. Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Stir in the oil and cocoa powder.
