Coffee White Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Coffee White Chocolate Chunk Brownies(Adapted from One Smart Cookie)

4 tablespoons butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 heaping teaspoons instant espresso powder

1 large egg

1 large egg white

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped fine-quality white chocolate

Preheat oven to 350

Combine butter, brown sugar and instant espresso powder in a small saucepan. Set heat to medium and cook until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth, stirring frequently. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes.

Add the egg, egg white and vanilla to the brown sugar and stir until well blended.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Take about 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and toss it with the white chocolate chunks. Add the flour mixture into the brown sugar/egg and stir just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chunks.

Evenly divide batter into 12 foil cups and bake for 12-18 minutes, until the edges are pale golden - if a toothpick is inserted into the center it should not come out clean, but there should be no raw batter. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
