Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 28-32 minutes until the edges look set and the center is slightly underdone. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 2 hours before cutting.

Notes

Don't overbake to maintain fudginess. Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation. Allow brownies to cool completely for clean cuts.
