Ingredients
- 1 1/4cups all-purpose flour
- 1teaspoon salt
- 2tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder(I used Hershey’s Special Dark)
- 1package (11.5 ounce size) semi sweet chocolate chips(or 11 ounces dark chocolate, chopped)
- 8tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 1cup granulated sugar
- 1/2cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 2teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray sides and bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. (I prefer glass so I can see into it.) Line with parchment paper leaving a 2 inch overhang on two sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Place dark chocolate, butter and instant espresso powder in a large heat-proof bowl and set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat, keeping the bowl over the water and add the sugars. Whisk until combined, then remove the bowl from the pan. When chocolate mixture is at room temperature, add 3 eggs and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk), fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just combined. Don’t over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes up clean, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven. Wait 10 minutes, and then cover with plastic wrap. Let the brownies cool completely, then lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
