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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
- 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.
- Refrigerate the frosted brownies for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set.
- Serve and enjoy!
