Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) mint chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until fully liquid but not hot. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a separate bowl. If using espresso powder, add it here.
  6. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the mint chocolate chips gently but thoroughly, ensuring even distribution.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, testing doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep brownies fudgy. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Optional espresso powder boosts chocolate flavor without coffee taste.
