Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
- In a medium saucepan, melt together butter and both sugars over a medium heat. Whisk often until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a hand mixer and large bowl), whisk the eggs, cocoa powder, espresso powder and vanilla together. The mixture will be thick. Pour in the melted butter/sugars and continue mixing until smooth, scraping the bottom and sides of bowl as necessary.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix again just until there are no streaks of flour. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir in the chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 26-28 min or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhangs to remove brownies from pan. Slice into 16 squares.
