Barefoot Contessa'S Outrageous Oreo Crunch Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups butter
1 lb semi-sweet chocolate chips (original recipe calls for 28 oz., I feel that is too much but I will leave that up to you)
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
6 large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup flour
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups chopped Oreo cookies (50 cookies)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Butter and flour an 11\" X 17\" pan (I used a 9 X 13 and had thicker brownies).
In a heat-proof medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, heat butter, chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, coffee, vanilla and sugar.
Blend chocolate mixture into egg mixture; cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together one cup flour, baking powder and salt.
Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture. In a small bowl, stir Oreos and remaining 1/4 cup flour.
Add Oreo mixture to chocolate mixture.
Pour batter into baking pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula.
Bake 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 3-inches from center comes out clean; do not overbake.
Allow to cool. refrigerate, tightly wrapped, until cold; cut into squares.
