Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Making the Brownie Batter
  1. In another bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and green food coloring; stir until well combined.
  2. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Baking
  1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
Making the Frosting
  1. For the cream cheese frosting, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Spread generously over the cooled brownies.
Serving
  1. Cut into squares and savor every delicious bite!

Notes

Quality Hack: Opt for high-quality, European-style unsalted butter and full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture. Serve these brownies with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and a mint leaf.
