In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for around 90 seconds. Once fully melted, stir in both the granulated and brown sugars, followed by the cocoa powder. If the mixture is still too hot, let it cool down slightly before incorporating the vanilla, eggs, egg yolk, and corn syrup. Stir thoroughly until well blended. Gently fold in the flour, cornstarch, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix as the batter will be thick.Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for about 25 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
