Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Green food coloring (optional, if you want tinted batter)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, for decorating
  • 12 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (for frosting consistency)
  • Red and silver edible beads or mini candies for ornaments
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder; fold gently just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender.
  • If using, fold in the chopped nuts for texture.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don’t overbake; fudginess is the goal.
  • Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
  • Once cooled, cut brownies into triangles to resemble Christmas trees. Arrange them on a serving plate.
  • Make a simple frosting by mixing powdered sugar with milk just until thick but spreadable.
  • Spread or pipe frosting onto each brownie triangle. Decorate with edible beads or mini candies as ornaments.
