Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl and place over a pot of simmering water and melt, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, or into a small bowl, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until lightly and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 1 minute. On low speed beat in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the pecans and chips. The batter will be loose. Cover and refrigerate until just firm, about 30 minutes.
- Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 tablespoon size), scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, putting 8 cookies on each sheet. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. The surface will be dry and shiny but the tops and insides will still be soft. It will take no longer than 10 to 11 minutes so set the time. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter. These cookies are best eaten the day they are made. Wrap leftovers well in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.

Either Dutch-processed or natural cocoa works well in this recipe. These brownies are very rich, so we prefer to cut them into small squares for serving.**Take out Espresso if you want just chocolate brownies.

Whisk warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture; then stir in flour with wooden spoon until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners, and level surface with rubber spatula; bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan using foil handles. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve.

Tips:
- Use a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will give the brownies a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will produce dense, tough brownies.
- Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the brownies from cracking.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- For a fudgier brownie, use a little less flour and a little more butter.
- For a cakier brownie, use a little more flour and a little less butter.
- Add a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- For a special touch, top the brownies with a ganache or chocolate frosting.
