Brownie Monday!

Who doesn't love a delicous brownie? We all have our preference though; some like theirs fudgy, some prefer cakey, while others prefer gooey. I like all three!

I'd like to share this delicous brownie recipe with you. If you have King Arthur Flour in your neck of the woods, grab a bag and let's get to baking some brownies!

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 lg. eggs
1 1/4 cup double-dutch dark cocoa
1t salt
1t baking powder
1t espresso powder
1T vanilla
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat Oven to 350
Lightly Grease 9x13 pan

In a medium sized micro-safe bowl, melt butter, add sugar & stir to combine. Return the mixture to microwave briefly, just until it's hot 110-120F. It will become shiny. Doing this extra step will dissolve more of the sugar, which will give your brownies a shiny crust.

Crack 4 eggs, beat w/cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder & vanilla until smooth.

Add the hot mixture, stir until smooth

Add flour, chips, again stir until smooth.

Spoon batter into the pan.

Bake for about 30 min., until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.

Remove from oven & set out to cool before cutting.
