Ingredients

1/2 cups Butter (1 Stick)
1 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1/2 cups Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Espresso Powder
2 teaspoons Vanilla
5/8 cups Flour
1 cup Walnuts, Chopped

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F.
2

Lightly grease and line with parchment paper (have some hanging over the edges of the pan to create an 'apron') an 8 x 8-inch pan.
3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.
4

Add sugar and combine well. Heat again briefly until hot but not bubbling. It should become shiny as stirred. This creates a shiny crust on brownies.
5

In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, espresso, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
6

Add butter/sugar mixture and stir until smooth. Add flour and stir until smooth. Add nuts and mix well.
7

Pour batter into pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
8

Cool on rack for 15 minutes. Pull out by holding ends of parchment paper. Slice into 9 pieces and allow to cool completely on rack.
