Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until fully incorporated.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
4
Fold in the mint chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
5
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Do not overbake for fudgy brownies. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I ensure my brownies are fudgy and not cakey?

The key to fudgy brownies is not to overbake them. Take them out of the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, not liquid batter. Also, using melted butter and a higher sugar-to-flour ratio contributes to fudginess.

Can I omit the green food coloring?

Absolutely! The green food coloring is purely for aesthetic appeal to enhance the 'mint' theme. The brownies will taste just as delicious without it.

What if I can't find mint chocolate chips?

You can use regular semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips and increase the peppermint extract slightly, to taste (start with an extra 1/4 teaspoon), to ensure the mint flavor comes through.
