Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup birthday cake-flavored sandwich cookies, roughly chopped

Frosting

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • to taste additional rainbow sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, rainbow sprinkles, and chopped birthday cake-flavored cookies until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared sheet pan.

Baking

  • Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted yields moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan placed on a wire rack.

Frosting

  • Beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, continuing to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Spread the prepared frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Decorate generously with extra rainbow sprinkles.
  • Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container. Adjust sprinkles and cookies as per preference.
