How to Make Chewy Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Walnut Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
Grease a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet and line the bottom with waxed or parchment paper.
In a small cup, dissolve 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder in 2 tablespoons warm water until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add ½ cup light corn syrup and beat until smooth.
Beat in 2 large eggs, the coffee mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon maple extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely on the baking sheet before frosting.
Cut into approximately 2-inch squares and serve.
