Mocha Brownies Ingredients: 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed 1 cup sugar  3/4 cup cocoa powder  1 teaspoon instant espresso   2 large eggs  1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract  1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup all-purpose flour  1/3 cup dark chocolate chips Nonstick cooking spray  Powdered sugar to garnish Method: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 x 10 nonstick pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside. In a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot to the touch, about 6-8 minutes (you can also do this in the microwave, just heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each time until melted, about 2 minutes total) Remove from the heat and stir with a silicone spatula until cool, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla a d salt until the mixture gets very shiny and smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in the flour. The batter will be very thick. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake until the edges pull from the sides and the top is set, about 15-20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting and sprinkling with powdered sugar to serve.
