    Lunchroom Ladies Brownies

    Ingredients

    • INGREDIENTS:
    • For the brownies
    • 1 cup melted butter
    • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
    • 2 cups flour all purpose
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 4 eggs
    • 4 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup chopped pecans optional
    • For the frosting
    • 1/4 cup melted butter
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder

    Instructions

    • INSTRUCTIONS
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and cocoa powder until smooth.
    • Add the flour, salt, and sugar then mix together.
    • The mixture will be dry and crumbly.
    • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
    • Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper and pour batter into pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    • While the brownies are baking make the frosting by whisking together butter, milk, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
    • The frosting should be thick and spreadable. It should be similar to the consistency of canned frosting but way better.
    • If it’s too thick add a little milk, a tablespoon at a time.
    • Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before frosting. Then spread frosting over the top of the brownies.
    • Let cool completely before slicing.
