Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  7. To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the heavy cream, until well blended and fluffy.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies using a spatula. For a decorative touch, you can pipe the frosting using a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  10. Refrigerate the frosted brownies for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
