2/3cup all-purpose flourTo measure, spoon flour into measuring cup, then level with the back of a dinner knife
1cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F
Line an 8 inch square baking pan with foil and grease with some butter. Set aside.
In a sauce pan over very low heat, melt together the unsweetened chocolate, butter, and espresso. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture in pan, along with the eggs and the vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and beginning to look glossy. Fold in flour just until combined — do not over-mix.
Stir in dark chocolate chips, and scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top and making sure batter is level and smoothed into each corner of the pan.
Bake on middle rack of preheated oven 40-45 minutes, until the top looks slightly crackled and glossy, and a toothpick inserted half-way between the edge of the pan and the center of the pan comes out clean.
Using the foil, lift brownies from pan, place on a cooling rack, and cover loosely with additional foil. Allow to cool 2 hours before cutting into 16 servings.
