Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan.
Step 2
Melt 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup cocoa powder together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 3
Combine white sugar, flour, and salt together in a large bowl; add chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract; stir until combined. Pour batter into prepared jellyroll pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to become crisp, about 20 minutes.
