Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and eggs, and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake as you want the brownies to be fudgy.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares and serving.
