How to Make Woman's Prerogative Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before evenly covering with 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  9. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows are melted and slightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  11. For the frosting (thick & creamy): In a bowl, combine 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (unmelted), 2-4 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  12. For the frosting (thin): In a bowl, combine 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted), 2-4 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Pour over cooled brownies and chill until set.
