If you're looking for the perfect chocolate brownie, you've found it. These brownies are everything a brownie should be—rich, fudgy, chewy, and packed with chocolate goodness. With a shiny, crackly top and a soft, decadent center, they're the kind of dessert everyone reaches for first.
Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350℉. Butter a 13 x 9 pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang at each end for easy removal of the entire pan of brownies.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add chocolate chips, stirring constantly until thoroughly melted and combined. Remove and set aside to cool.
Sugars and Egg Mixture: Combine both sugars, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and oil in a bowl. Add espresso powder and cinnamon. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, continue mixing until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cocoa into the sugar-and-egg mixture. Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix on medium until smooth and glossy.
Batter to Pan to Oven: Pour the batter into the prepared 13 x 9 baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Note: You do not want to overbake brownies. Keep in mind that brownies will cook a little more once removed from the oven.
How to Determine When Brownies are Done.
Toothpick test: Insert a toothpick in the center of the pan; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Surface Appearance: Look for a shiny, cracked top; this indicates they are set.
Edges Pulling Away: Check if the edges are slightly pulling away from the pan.
