Cookie Butter Brownies
Description
The brownie batter combines melted butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and cocoa powder stirred until smooth. Granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and dry ingredients including baking powder and salt are folded in gently to maintain moisture. Baking in a 9x9 glass pan at 350°F yields brownies that are set but still tender inside.
The frosting merges softened butter with cookie butter (or peanut butter), vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk stirred until smooth and spreadable. This topping adds a creamy, slightly spiced finish complementing the rich chocolate base. The brownies are chilled to set the frosting before slicing into bars to serve.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
for the cookie butter frosting-
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 tablespoons cookie butter or peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a glass 9x9 square pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small pot, melt butter, chocolate chips and cocoa together over medium low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Stir in eggs, 1 at a time and vanilla. Gently stir in all dry ingredients until just incorporated. Pour into prepared pan and bake 20-30 minutes or until just set. Mine was done right at 20 minutes, but my oven is also hotter than the sun. Set aside to cool.
- For the frosting, stir butter, cookie butter, vanilla and powdered sugar together until a thick paste forms. Stir in milk carefully and then mix vigorously to smooth out any lumps. Spread over brownies, cut into bars and serve.
