Instructions

Making the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl stir together the butter and sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to your mixture, and mix until light and fluffy.
Stir in the red food coloring.
Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt. Stir to mix.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheat oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool

Making the Cream Cheese Frosting

Add the powdered sugar and milk to the butter mixture and beat. Continue beating until completely combine, scraping sides as needed.
Remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper, place on cutting board. Make sure the brownies are cool and then spread the frosting on the top, coating completely.
Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Add the softened cream cheese, room temperature butter and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Using your mixer beat until smooth.
