Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2¼ cups sugar
  • 1¼ cups Dutch-process cocoa
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. expresso powder
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it's hot (about 110-120 degrees F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating this mixture the second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
  3. Transfer the sugar mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir in the cocoa, baking powder, salt, espresso powder and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth.
  4. Add the flour and chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and let cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
