Let cool slightly while measuring out the remaining ingredients.

Mix in the sugar, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

Add the flour and cocoa powder, and mix just until combined. If adding chocolate chips, then add them once the dry ingredients are almost blended in.

Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 19 to 23 minutes until set.

Let cool for about 15 to 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
