Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the parchment.

Step 2

In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the butter and 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold the remaining 0.5 cup of chocolate chips into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 7

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

Step 8

To make the espresso glaze, whisk together the instant espresso powder, milk, and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable. Adjust the consistency with a few additional drops of milk, if necessary.

Step 9

Lift the cooled brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang and place them on a cutting board. Spread the espresso glaze evenly over the top.

Step 10

Allow the glaze to set for 15–20 minutes. Then slice the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
