Crinkle Top Brownies

I’m not usually a brownie person, but after seeing Emily Schuman try Half Baked Harvest’s Crinkle Top Brownies I had to try it and now I’m converted. These are so decadent, yet easy to make. This is definitely a recipe I’ll be reaching for again and again.

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules

  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper.

  2. In the microwave, melt together the butter and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (stir at 30 second intervals) until melted and smooth. Stir in the sugar, vanilla, and instant coffee.

  3. In a small bowl whisk the eggs for 1 minute until bubbly on top. Stir the eggs into the chocolate mix. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir until just combined. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

  4. Evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until the brownies are just set. Let cool (or not) and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
