Instructions
Make Homemade Brownies or Boxed Brownies
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease or spray with non-stick spray a 9x13" baking dish: set aside. Line pan with parchment if you want easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa and baking soda.
Pour in 1/3 cup of the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the boiling water until the mixture is smooth. (It will be thick.)
Whisk in the sugar and eggs with the remaining 1/3 cup melted butter.
Add the vanilla and salt and whisk until just incorporated.
Add in the flour and stir until just combined.
Pour and spread the batter into baking pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes and do not over-bake.
Cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosting
Add the butter and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to the bowl and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
Frost the completely cooled brownies and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips!
Notes
Can also some of the mini chips to the frosting and sprinkle on top as well.
