Susan's Homemade Brownies

The picture does not do these brownies justice,
I am not a great photographer,
so take my word for it, they are delicious!

If you love chocolate, you are going to love these yummy brownies!

In a double boiler melt:
Two sticks unsalted butter

8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares

In a mixing bowl, mix together the following ingredients:
3 large eggs

1 Tablespoons instant coffee powder (optional)
1 Tablespoons real vanilla extract
1 1/8 cups sugar

Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg/coffee/vanilla/sugar mixture and stir till well blended.

Add the following ingredients and mix well:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the following and then add it to the batter:
6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup flour

1 1/2 cups diced walnut pieces (optional)

Either grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch cake pan, or my favorite way is to line the pan with parchment paper. If you use the parchment paper, when the brownies are cool, you just lift them out and cut them – much easier than scraping them out of the pan!

Pour the batter into the pan and bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well, and cut into squares.
