2tablespoonsstrong brewed coffeeat room temperature
1teaspoonvanilla
1/2cupunsweetened baking cocoa
1/2teaspoonbaking powder
1/2cupall-purpose floursee note
1/3cupsemi-sweet chocolate chipsplus a handful extra
Powdered sugaroptional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine the butter with the sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg, coffee and vanilla and stir again to combine.
Add the cocoa powder and baking powder and stir until combined. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir.
Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Wait to slice the brownies until they are fully cooled and set. Dust with powdered sugar, if using.
Notes
When you measure the flour, use the spoon and level method. I like to stir the flour in the package first to loosen it up and then lightly spoon it into the measuring cup. Level it off with a dinner knife.You can double the recipe for thicker brownies, but they will need 30 to 40 minutes to bake.
