LUNCH LADY BROWNIE

The most chocolatey, fudgy and moist brownies ever! Just like the ones they served for school lunch dessert, from Life in the Lofthouse site. Just as a note, be sure not to over bake as you want them to remain moist and chewy. Next time I'm adding walnuts to them just for something special

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk (I use 2%)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Brownie:.
Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth.
Add the flour and sugar. Beat together then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Don't over mix. (Batter will be thick).
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove brownies from oven and let stand 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies still warm when you frost them!

2 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
4 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
FROSTING:
1/4 c butter, softened
1/4 c milk
1/4 c cocoa powder
3 c powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
2. To make the frosting: sift together sugar, cocoa and salt. Cream butter in mixing bowl. Gradually add in sugar to butter, alternating with milk. Mix until creamy. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, cocoa and sugar. Stir in flour and beat well. Add vanilla and eggs, one by one, and mix just to combine.
4. Spread batter evenly and into corners with an offset spatula in prepared pan. (Batter will be thick)
5. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Spread frosting over warm brownies.

Tips:

For fudgy brownies, use a 9x13 inch pan. For cakey brownies, use a 9x11 inch pan.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough brownie.
Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the brownies will taste.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
