Ingredients

  

Brownie Ingredients

• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 c. unsalted butter
• 2 c. granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 t. real vanilla extract
• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. ground cocoa powder sweetened
• ¼ t. salt
• 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 c. chopped walnuts

Frosting Ingredients

• ½ c. unsalted butter
• 1/3 c. cocoa powder unsweetened
• 1-1½ c. powdered sugar
• 2-3 T. whole milk

Instructions

 

• Place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet until just combined. (Do not over mix or the brownies will turn out “cakey”).
• Stir the chocolate chips and walnuts into the batter and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Spread into an even layer and transfer to the preheated oven.
• Bake for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Brownies will still be soft and will finish setting while they cool.
• To prepare the frosting, mix the butter with the cocoa powder and 1 cup powdered sugar. Add in one tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. If necessary, add the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar to thicken.
• Once cool, spread frosting on top of the brownies before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
