  • Stir in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before preparing the frosting.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Slice into squares and serve!
