Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound unsalted butter
  • 1 pound semisweet chocolate chips (plus 12 ounces)
  • 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 6 extra-large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules (we omit this)
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups chopped walnuts (we omit these)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
  • Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water.
  • Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar.
  • Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In another medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter.
  • Pour everything into the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares
