Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons finely ground espresso (or instant espresso powder)

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting and chocolate chips for extra indulgence

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the brownies later.

    Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and ground espresso.

            Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until no flour streaks remain.

              Prepare for Baking: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra chocolaty goodness.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).

                  Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bite-sized squares or rectangles.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the rich espresso-infused chocolatey goodness!
