Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F Prepare a greased 9×13” baking dish. Press a piece of parchment paper (large enough so it overhangs the dish) into the baking dish.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Aggressively whisk in the sugar until incorporated. Next, add the melted butter, espresso, and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.

Step 4

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set and cooked through. Let cool for 30 minutes. Gently use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the dish. Cut the brownies into 12 squares.

Step 6

Whisk together the powdered sugar and espresso until smooth and pourable. Start with 3 tablespoons of espresso. If it’s too thick, add more.

Step 7

Spoon the glaze onto the brownies. If desired, sprinkle raw sugar on top of the brownies for a festive touch. Let set.
