1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon mint extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and sugar until well combined.
Stir in melted butter and eggs until you have a thick batter.
Add mint extract, mixing carefully to balance flavors.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
Let the brownies cool completely. For frosting, mix powdered sugar with softened butter and mint extract until smooth; add food coloring if desired. Spread over cooled brownies and slice into squares.
