Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for optional dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra decorative touch.
Cut into 12 squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
