Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cut the butter into tablespoon size pieces and add it to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave your butter for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted.
Whisk the butter together with the granulated sugar, egg, and egg yolks until homogenous.
Add the flour, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Gently whisk until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Spread your brownie batter into a 9x9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake your brownies for 30 minutes.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

The Dutch process cocoa powder is going to help give these brownies a richer, deeper chocolate flavor. For extra rich and decadent brownies, swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips.
If you don’t have Dutch process cocoa powder then you can use whatever cocoa powder you have on hand. The brownies will not be as rich but will still be delicious.
Make sure you use 2 egg yolks and 1 whole egg not 3 whole eggs. If you use 3 whole eggs then your brownies will have a more cake-like texture.
I like to cut my butter into small pieces to help it melt down better. This way the butter melts consistently and you won’t have butter splattering in the microwave before the whole stick is melted down.
You can mix your batter with an electric hand mixer or a whisk. If you use a hand mixer, make sure you keep it on low speed. You don’t want to overmix your brownie batter.
