Frosted Brownies

I was really craving some brownies this weekend, so I found a good recipe on Pinterest, and made it myself. This one was super easy!

1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups flour
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth. Add the flour and sugar. Beat together then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove brownies from oven and let stand 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies still warm when you frost them, to  melt the frosting a little. And here’s the frosting:

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk 
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar

Beat together all the frosting ingredients until smooth. Pour and spread over warm brownies. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.

These are so good, you guys. We all ate them within a day!
