I've also made variations of this brownie. My go-to is to use Dutch process cocoa powder, but it's hard to come by sometimes. I usually buy it and save it up, so that I always have some on hand for these particular brownie-craving times. Then I made a coffee/espresso version. I'm pretty sure there's a peanut butter version floating around out there, too. Recently I made them for B and his coworkers, but instead of my go-to, I used special dark cocoa powder. Those were midnight dark and super fudgy (and will be up soon...I know, I know, I'm a little out of order wit my posts)!
And then for Yom Kippur breakfast, I decided to make some more brownies. A lack of Dutch press cocoa powder and a now-empty container of dark cocoa powder (and none on the shelves when I went to the store) in the kitchen, I turned to boring old regular cocoa powder. I mixed it up a bit with the chips (mostly because I'm a fool and forgot to buy them for this recipe), using 1 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips.
Despite what I can only call their pale color (the other two versions yield a way darker brownie), their flavor was still spot on! Feel free to mix up the combination of chips -- who knows...maybe there will be an all-milk chocolate version up one of these days...
Brownies with Milk Chocolate Chips
Original recipe from Yammie's Noshery
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
2 1/4 cups of sugar
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups of regular cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups of flour
2 cups chocolate chips (for these, I used 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips)
Directions:
Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan. I lined mine with parchment paper and then sprayed it with Pam.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the butter and sugar in a microwave safe bowl.
Heat in the microwave, stirring about every 30 seconds, until the mixture is bubbly and smooth (mine was smooth, but not so bubbly). You can also do this on the stove.
Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Mix together the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. I just sifted it into the butter mixture, in about 3 additions.
Add to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 28 minutes.
