Ingredients
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder (I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder)
  • 8 ounces (2 sticks) butter
  • 1½ tsp espresso powder
  • 9.7 oz Scharffen Berger® 70% bittersweet chocolate baking bar, broken into pieces
  • ¼ cup of Guittard® Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1.5 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cup Guittard® Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350⁰F. Spray a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together in a bowl; set aside.
  3. In a double-boiler (I put a pyrex bowl on top of a saucepan with boiling water, combine the butter, chocolate espresso powder and stir over low heat until all is melted and combined.
  4. Take the chocolate mixture off the heat and add the sugars, mixing until combined.
  5. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix thoroughly.
  6. Add vanilla and stir to combine.
  7. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Gently stir in the chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the sprayed pan and push the batter into the corners with the back of a spoon.
  9. Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake. Cool completely on a wire rack.
