1 lb unsalted butter
1 lb plus 12 ounces
semisweet chocolate chips
6 oz unsweetened
chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tbsp instant coffee
granules
2 tbsp pure vanilla
extract
2¼ cups sugar
1¼ cups all-purpose
flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 cups chopped walnuts
(We didn’t add these but in hindsight I’d
recommend them.)
Preheat oven to 350˚.
Butter and flour a
12x18x1-inch baking sheet. (We used a 13x2-inch
oven-proof Pyrex dish for thicker brownies.)
Melt together the
butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium
bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do
not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla and sugar. Stir the warm
chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift
together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate
mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl
with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the
baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes,
then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape
from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a
toothpick comes out clean. (If making
thicker brownies, bake for 25 minutes and then an additional 25. Then proceed to
check for doneness in five minute intervals.) Do not overbake! Allow to
cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.
