Quick Lunch Lady Brownies – Don’t LOSE this recipe

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep & Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a $9 \times 13$-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper. 🖼️
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of melted butter and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder until smooth. Whisk in 2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 eggs, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until glossy and fully blended. 🥣
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt just until combined (do not overmix). 🌾
4. Bake: Pour the thick brownie batter evenly into your prepared $9 \times 13$-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. ⏲️
5. Whisk the Icing: While the brownies are baking, whisk together 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 3 cups of powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of whole milk in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. 🍫
6. Frost & Cool: Immediately pour the chocolate icing over the brownies as soon as they come out of the oven. Spread evenly with a spatula and allow the brownies to cool so the frosting sets into a glossy, fudgy crust! 🧈
7. Slice & Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve alongside a cold glass of milk! 🥛✨
