Ingredients:

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 90 seconds on high power.
3. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. If still very hot, let cool slightly before adding in the vanilla, eggs and egg yolk, and corn syrup.
4. Stir until very well combined. Add in the flour, cornstarch, and salt and stir until just combined.
5. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan
