Fudge Brownies with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

For the brownies:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and then line the bottom with parchment paper so the side are hanging up and over the edge of the pan then spray again.

4. In a separate medium sized bowl add sugars and vanilla.
5. Once your chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add your eggs and egg yolks and stir until smooth.
6. Add egg/chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
7. Add wet mixture to flour mixture and fold it together until no flour streaks remain.
8. Spread into greased 9×13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs on it.
9. Remove and allow to cool completely while you make the frosting.
