Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white decorating icing or melted white chocolate
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until glossy.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips without overmixing.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has moist crumbs.
8. Cool the brownies completely, then lift them from the pan and cut into football shapes or oval pieces.
9. Pipe white decorating icing or melted white chocolate across the tops to create football laces.
10. Let the decoration set, then serve.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and better texture.
Do not overbake the brownies if you want a soft and fudgy center.
Cool completely before decorating so the white icing stays neat and defined.
