The title is about all that needs saying. I'm probably going to eat another one as soon as I finish posting the recipe.
Midnight Brownies
1 cup unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups dark dutch cocoa (the dark makes a big difference, so make sure it's not regular dutch cocoa!)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp espresso powder
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 c dark chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking pan.
2. Melt butter over low heat. While still over the heat, add the sugar and stir to combine. Turn the burner to low and leave the mixture on. Stir occasionally. (If the mixture begins to bubble, remove from heat briefly. Place back over the heat while you are finishing the third step.)
3. While the sugar and butter is still over the heat, combine the eggs, cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
4. Add the butter and sugar mixture into the egg mixture. Stir well.
5. Allow the mixture to sit and cool for about 2 minutes. Then stir in the flour chocolate chips. This will allow the chips to slightly melt, but still maintain their form (it makes the chips melt in your mouth in the final product!)
6. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, until sides have pulled away from pan. If you test with a toothpick, it should come out with a few moist crumbs still on it (but not a ton)
7. As they are gooey, allow for them to fully cool (maybe 2 hours?) until you cut them. Wet the knife blade between cutting new rows/pieces.
