Chocolate Chocolate Chip Brownies

3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, cut into pieces

1/3C unsalted butter, room temperature

1C sugar

2 large eggs

½ tsp. vanilla

1/2C plus 2 Tbsp. flour

½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1/2C chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.  Brush an 11 x 7-inch glass or ceramic dish lightly with butter.  Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler.  Once melted remove the top bowl and set aside to cool slightly. 

Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.  In a food processor pulse together the sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Add the cooled chocolate and pulse in.  Pulse in the dry ingredients just to combine.  Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and bake 25 minutes or until the brownies just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan – do not overbake – they should still be soft when served.  Let cool to room temperature.  Cut into squares and serve.

MAKES:  12 – 16 squares
