Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter
  • 6 oz (170g) semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (156g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (63g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chunks

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder on medium-high until thick, pale, and ribbony, about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold gently with a spatula until combined.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl and fold until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square metal pan with parchment. Scrape the batter in, smooth the top, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and slice into squares.

Notes

These brownies need a full cool-down to set their fudgy texture; cutting them warm will give you a delicious mess but messy slices. The espresso powder is optional but helps deepen the chocolate. Store any leftovers in the fridge for the chewiest bite.
