How to Make Cinnamon Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Add 1/3 cup (6 tablespoons) melted margarine to the cocoa mixture.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup boiling water, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
  5. Stir in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  12. **Frosting:** In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  13. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  14. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of milk, mixing until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
  15. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  16. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  17. Cut into squares and enjoy!
