2. Add the Dutch cocoa powder into a large bowl, along with the instant coffee and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
3. He immediate pan on medium-low heat and you’ll add in one cup of unsalted butter.
4. Once it starts foaming, make sure to stir and scrape the bottom of the pan every 10 seconds.
5. Once it’s golden and amber and small’s nutty, remove it from the heat and add it to your cocoa mixture.
6. Blend until it’s smooth and all the chocolate has melted and you’ll set it aside to cool.
7. Add the brown sugar and white sugar to a large bowl, along with the vanilla extract and I’m using four room temperature eggs.
8. I’m combining for about four to five minutes.
9. Slowly add in the cooled chocolate batter and combine until it’s fully mixed in.
10. Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt.
11. Then you’re going to gently fold it in using a rubber spatula.
12. Finally, I’m gonna add one cup of my chocolate chips.
13. Line a nine by 13 baking dish with parchment paper so it’s easy to remove once it’s cool.
14. You’ll add in the batter and smooth the top with a spatula.
15. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick test comes out with moist crumbs not wet batter.
16. Once it’s done, let it cool for about 15 to 20 minutes.
17. You can remove it from the pan with the parchment paper and slice away.

Cooking Tips

• The room temp eggs help it incorporate smoothly into the batter.
• This is the most important part of making brownies is you wanna make sure to fully incorporate the eggs with the sugar.
• It allows the sugar to fully dissolve in the egg mixture, which then creates that thin shiny crust that brownies are known for.
• You wanna make sure not to over mix though just until it’s all mixed in.
• You wanna fold just until the flour is fully incorporated but make sure not to over mix or you’ll have more of a cakey batter versus that gooey fudgey batter that we’re looking for.
• You can even bake it a little less time if you like the center more gooey.

Serving Suggestions

• I like to top mine with some vanilla ice cream, totally optional, but man is it worth it.
