Rich Fudgy Brownies


Hands-On Time: 10min
Cook Time: 50min
Ready In: 1h
Yield: 16 to 20 small brownies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, good quality
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, optional
  • 1 stick or 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • extra large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Place chocolate chips, coffee granules, and butter into a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, remove and whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
  3. When chocolate is room temperature (it may be already), whisk in sugar and then eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix well.
  4. Carefully fold in flour and salt until just combined, taking care not to over mix.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until soft set. A toothpick will not come out clean, and the brownie may still jiggle a bit. Let cool to room temperature and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
