Ingredients
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a medium sauce pan, melt butter on medium low heat with sugar until sugar is dissolved but do not let the mixture bubble. Let the mixture cool.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs until uniform but do not overmix.
Add the butter sugar mixture into the egg little by little, tempering the eggs. Once the eggs have warmed up, you may add the rest of the butter sugar mixture. Add vanilla extract.
Sift the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) in a separate bowl. Once sifted, add the wet ingredients and mixture until just combined, but pockets of flour will still be visible.
Add chocolate chips and stir a few times.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Let cool and serve.
Variations
Salted brownies: Before baking, sprinkle Maldon sea salt on top for a salty crunch.
Flavored chips: add flavored baking chips to enhance the brownie, such as butterscotch chips, or white chocolate.
Mint brownies: add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract to the wet ingredients for a minty brownie.
