Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
- 5 drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
Beat the eggs in one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract (and green food coloring, if using) until completely incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your decadent Mint Chip Brownies!
