Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp instant coffee granules
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and instant coffee granules.
In another bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. If using coffee liqueur, add it now.
Once brownies are completely cooled, spread frosting evenly over the top.
