• Preheat oven to 350 °F. Make a foil or parchment paper sling for a small baking dish.
• In a medium bowl mix together the cocoa powder, and butter.
  2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup salted butter
• Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
  ½ cup granulated white sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Use a spatula to add the flour. Fold in any extras now, nuts, extra chips, etc.Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth so the top is even
  ½ cup all-purpose flour
• Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Brownies are fully cooked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs the brownies are done. If too wet, continue cooking for a couple more minutes and check again..
• When done let brownies cool in the loaf pan before lifting brownies out to cut and serve.

Frosting

• In a small bow mix together all the icing ingredients until smooth. The mixing is easier if you use a fork to break up any chunks in the powdered sugar before adding to the icing mixture.

Assemble

• After the brownies have cooled, lift out of the pan and spread the icing over the top.
• Cut into 4 or six squares.
