How to Make Easy Brownie Christmas Trees

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Mix the melted butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until combined; add the eggs one at a time and whisk in the vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, being careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Cool the brownies completely in the pan before transferring to a cutting board and cutting into triangles.
  • Prepare the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and green food coloring until smooth.
  • Decorate your brownie trees with the green glaze and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for best flavor and ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
