Fudgy Frosted Brownies

I'm picky when it comes to homemade brownies.  I'm not a fan of cake-like brownies.  I do, however, love moist, fudgy brownies.  Even better when the recipe is a cinch to make.  Enter Fudgy Frosted Brownies.  Delicious!  If you need a chocolate fix, give this recipe a try!


Ingredients:

1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 c. baking cocoa

(frosting)
1/2 c. butter, softened
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. baking cocoa
1/4 c. milk

Oven Temperature: 350
Baking Time: 25 minutes

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.  Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each. Add the flour and cocoa, then mix until well combined.  Batter will be sticky.

Place batter in an ungreased 9x13" pan and bake for about 25 minutes.  Once the brownies are done, allow them to cool on a rack for a while.

While your brownies are baking, you can go ahead and prep the frosting.  Once again, beat the butter until it is fluffy, then add the remaining ingredients, stirring well until a thick fudgy frosting has formed. Allow the brownies to cool for as long as you can stand it before spreading the frosting over the top. (Obviously the frosting will be runny if you add it to the brownies too soon!)  Cut into squares and enjoy!
