Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 8

While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar, milk, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.

Step 10

Add the melted chocolate to the frosting mixture and beat until fully combined and glossy.

Step 11

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using an offset spatula.

Step 12

Let the frosting set for about 15-20 minutes before cutting the brownies into squares and serving. Enjoy!
