Chocolate Chip Brownies with fluffy chocolate frosting are just about the best thing going.

I mean, how can you go wrong? A dessert with a chocolate brownie base loaded with semi sweet chocolate chips, and topped with a rich chocolate frosting.....helloooo.

You need to wait to frost the brownies until they have cooled. I'll be honest, this part is difficult. The smell of chocolate is just soooo good. You'll want to dive in right away.

The chocolate chips are slightly melted in the brownie cake, making it EXTRA mouth watering delicious.

This brownie recipe with chocolate chips and cocoa is best with plain unsweetened cocoa for the frosting, not the dark unsweetened cocoa.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Brownies from scratch?

Simply follow the recipe steps below for moist, chocolatey, delicious brownies.  Be sure to pay attention to the tips listed directly below.  They're important for obtaining the "wow" factor.

Tips for these delicious chocolate chip brownies:

  1.  Do not overmix.  You want the batter to remain light and airy, not dense.
  2. Wait for the brownies to cool before placing the frosting on top.  Otherwise, the frosting will seep into the brownie and not be quite as fluffy.
  3. Do not overcook.  Our's were done in 25 minutes.  Its ok to have a few moist crumbs on the toothpick inserted in center of brownies.

I think you should treat yourself today with these decadent brownies.

Double Chocolate Chip Brownies

Double chocolate chip brownies made from scratch are one of the best treats around. This recipe includes a delicious fluffy chocolate frosting.

Course brownies
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 20
Calories 216 kcal

Ingredients

Brownies

  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

Frosting

  • 6 tbsp butter, room temperature (sliced in a few pieces)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 3-5 tbsp milk or cream

Instructions

Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, so that there is overhang over the edges.  This will provide handles for easier removal of brownies after cooling.  Lightly grease the paper.

  2. In large, microwaveable bowl, combine chopped unsweetened chocolate and butter.  Place in microwave and cook in 40 second increments until mixture is smooth after stirring.  This only took about 1 minute and 20 seconds for us.

  3. Whisk in the sugar and brown sugar, until smooth. Whisk in eggs and vanilla.  With a rubber spatula, fold in dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) to mixture, until combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.

  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and place in preheated oven.  Cook for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.  Cool in pan for an hour.  Remove with paper handles and place on wire rack for further cooling.

Frosting

  1. In a stand mixer, cream together butter, cocoa powder. and salt on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.  Scrape sides of bowl with rubber spatula.  Turn mixer to low speed and add in the powdered sugar, mix until incorporated.  Add in the vanilla and milk.  Mix on medium speed, until frosting is smooth and fluffy.  You can adjust the milk or cream to bring the frosting to your desired consistency.

  2. Frost brownies once they have completely cooled.  Enjoy!
