Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 container (16 oz) vanilla frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. This prevents the brownies from sticking and ensures easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next for the best texture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.
  • Stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips. Reserve the remaining ½ cup for topping the brownies after baking.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set properly and prevents them from crumbling.
  • Once the brownies are cool, frost them with vanilla frosting. Cut out football shapes using a football-shaped cookie cutter. Or, cut brownies into squares, and decorate them with frosting to resemble football laces.
