Ingredients
- Brownies
- 24 candy eyes
- 1 3/4 cups flour (spoon & sweep method)
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Butter Cream Icing
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 to 8 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioner's Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients.
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will be set, but still soft. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- After cookies have cooled, spread buttercream icing on one cookie and top with another cookie to make a “sandwich”.
- Spoon buttercream frosting in a pastry bag and use a star tip to adhere the two candy eyes. If you don't have a pastry bag, a gallon-sized plastic bag with a hole cut into the corner works just as well.
