Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Add sugar and whisk until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Sift together all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
- For the frosting, whisk cookie butter with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to reach desired consistency.
- Once brownies are completely cooled, spread the cookie butter frosting evenly across the top.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the frosting, then cut into 12 equal squares.
- Serve at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- * To ensure the brownies are fudgy and not cakey, avoid overmixing the batter and don't overbake. * Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. * If you find the frosting too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to reach the desired consistency. * Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting and refrigerating to prevent a soggy texture. * Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but be warned: they might not last that long!
