Brownie Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sweetened ground cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Place the top oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and then mix until fully combined.
- Next, add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently and make sure not to overmix, or the brownies may turn out cakey.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The brownies will still be soft and will finish setting as they cool.
- Make the frosting while the brownies cool. Mix the butter, cocoa powder, and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add the milk until the desired consistency is reached. If needed, add the remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar to thicken.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the frosting on top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
