Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt together into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips and chopped nuts if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares or desired portions and serve.
