Instructions
For the brownies:
- 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.

- In a separate medium sized bowl add sugars and vanilla.
- Once your chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add your eggs and egg yolks and stir until smooth.
- Add egg/chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
- Add wet mixture to flour mixture and fold it together until no flour streaks remain.
- 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.
- Remove and allow to cool completely while you make the frosting.
For the frosting:
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese until completely smooth, 4-5 minutes.
- Slowly add powdered sugar and mix on low until powdered sugar is mixed in.
- Add salt and cocoa powder and mix on low until combined.
- Turn mixer to medium/high and beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Frost cooled brownies with frosting, cut into squares and serve.
