Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups flour

Instruction

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan.
  • 2. Beat together eggs, cocoa, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla until smooth.
  • 3. Melt the butter in the microwave in a small microwave-safe bowl.
  • 4. Add the sugar to the melted butter and combine. Microwave mixture in about 10-15 second increments, mixing each time, until the mixture is hot (about 110-120 degrees), but not bubbly. It should take on a shiny look when it’s ready. Heating this mixture will dissolve more of the sugar and give a shiny crust on top of the brownies. You could also do this step in a saucepan over low heat.
  • 5. Add the butter mixture to the eggs mixture and mix until smooth
  • 6. Microwave the chocolate chips in about 20 second increments until fairly soft, but not totally melted.
  • NOTE: If you want them to be completely incorporated, melt them completely. If you want them to be chunks in the brownies, do not microwave them.
  • 7. Add flour and chocolate chips to batter and mix until smooth.
  • 8. Pour batter into pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  • 9. When done, remove from oven and allow to cool.
