Equipment

1 Oven
1 KitchenAid Stand Mixer
1 Silicone Spatula
1 9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

2 sticks Unsalted Butter
2-¼ cups Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs Large
1-¼ cups Dutch-Process Cocoa
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2-¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Chocolate Chips divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan.
In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it’s hot (about 110 Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit) but not bubbling.
2 sticks Unsalted Butter, 2-¼ cups Granulated Sugar
Place the eggs in the stand mixing bowl, and beat using a flat paddle attachment with the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla extract until smooth about 30-45 seconds.
4 Eggs, 1-¼ cups Dutch-Process Cocoa, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder, 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Begin to carefully pour in the the hot butter/sugar mixture while the stand mixer is on a low speed. Stir in until smooth.
Add the flour and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Mix on speed one and gradually increase the speed until smooth and no flour is present.
2-¼ cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 cups Chocolate Chips
Pour the batter into the lightly greased 9″ x 13″ pan. Then top with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
2 cups Chocolate Chips
Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean-- with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Shiny Top Crust of Brownies - Heating this butter / sugar mixture dissolves more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny crust on top of the brownies.
Brownie Sundae - Brownies are a perfect dessert to have with ice cream or whipped cream, and even drizzle caramel for extra flavor.
Storing Leftovers - Always store brownies at room temperature in a well sealed container for up to 5 days.
Removing the Entire Pan of Brownies at Once - If you plan to remove the whole pan of brownies out of the pan at once. Grease the pan first, then line it with parchment paper, and add additional non-stick cooking spray to the the parchment paper.
