2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and vanilla and mix well. Spray bottom of 13x9 inch pan with baking spray. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set.
3. While brownies are baking, melt white chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl in microwave oven. Set the power to 30% and microwave the chips for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Repeat. Then remove from oven and stir until melted and smooth. When brownies come out of oven, evenly pour melted white chocolate over the hot brownies and gently spread to cover. Set aside.
