Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 ¼ cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray or grease a 9" x 13" pan.
- In a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and sugar. Stir and heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot but not bubbling. This will dissolve the sugar and help give brownies that shiny top.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla until smooth, and completely combined. You can do this by hand or with a mixer.
- Add the hot butter mixture to the egg and cocoa mixture; stir until smooth. Fold in the flour and chocolate chips; stir until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the brownies for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. They should feel set on the edges and moist but not uncooked in the center. Cool on a rack before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
Storing: These brownies freeze really well. I usually cut them into serving size pieces and wrap each individually with plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer bag. Perfect for lunches!
