Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate *chopped
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter *room temp
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Brownies

  • Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  • Remove from heat and pour mixture into medium bowl, allowing to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8 x 8 baking pan with foil. Make sure foil overhangs on sides to make for easier removal.
  • Whisk the sugar and brown sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time.
  • Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake in oven for 35-40 minutes. *Be sure to check them starting at 30 minutes since all ovens cook differently.
  • Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely!

Frosting

  • While brownies are cooling, beat butter until fluffy.
  • Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla.
  • Whip until fluffy and consistency desired is reached.

Decorating

  • Use cookie cutter of choice to shape brownies.
  • Carefully place cut out brownie on cooling rack for easy decorating. If desired, dye frosting with food coloring as I used pink
  • Spread frosting on top of brownies, along with sprinkles! Serve!

Notes

*To save on time, you can also use boxed brownie mix and pre-made frosting that you dye to color!
