       Old Fashioned Ultra Chewy Brownies with Chocolate Cream Cheese
       Frosting
       Yield: 12 brownies
       Ingredients
       1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
       1/3 cup cocoa powder*
       1/4 tsp baking powder
       1/4 tsp salt
       3/4 cup granulated sugar
       3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
       1/2 cup butter, melted
       2 large eggs
       1 tsp vanilla extract
       3 Tbsp milk
       1 recipe Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
       Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
       5 oz cream cheese, softened
       3 Tbsp butter, softened
       1/2 tsp vanilla
       2 cups powdered sugar
       1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
       Directions
       Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk
       together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, set aside.
       In a separate mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together
       granulated sugar, light-brown sugar and melted butter until
       combine. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract and mix until blended.
       Add in half of the flour mixture and mix just until combine, add
       in milk and mix just until combine, then add remaining flour
       mixture and mix just until combine (batter will be very thick).
       Pour batter into a buttered 8x8 baking dish and spread into an
       even layer. Bake in preheated oven 40 - 45 minutes until center
       is nearly set. Allow to cool completely then frost with
       Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting and cut into squares (the
       frosting is a must for this recipe). Store in an airtight
       container.
       Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
       In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer on medium
       speed, whip together cream cheese and butter until smooth and
       fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in vanilla and powdered sugar, then
       sift in cocoa powder and mix until smooth and fluffy, about 1
       minute.

       Notes
       *If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, you can use 1/2 cup
       cocoa powder instead of the 1/3 cup listed. I just wanted a more
       mild chocolate flavor for this brownie so I like 1/3 cup, but I
       have tested out both. If you do ad 1/2 cup cocoa then reduce the
       flour measurement by 2 1/2 Tbsp.
