Easy Cookie Frosting

This is a really simple recipe for cookie frosting. It hardly takes any time and very little effort!

You will need:
1. Powdered sugar
2. Milk
3. A bowl
4. A spoon or small whisk
OPTIONAL:
Food colouring

To begin:
Pour powdered sugar and milk in a bowl and mix. If you want your frosting to be thicker, add more sugar. If you want thinner frosting add more milk. For coloured frosting, add a few drops of food colouring.

This recipe is so easy! You can put it in a pastry bag and pipe it on to your cookies or drizzle it on. Whatever you do I hope you enjoy yourself and found this recipe to be helpful:)

The Best Brownies EVER. (forreal)

These seriously have to be the best brownies I've ever tried. I made a batch for my family to taste and they were so good I just had to make another!

You will need:
1. 2/3 cup un-sweetened cocoa powder
2. 2 cups of white granulated sugar
3. 4 eggs
4. 1 cup all purpose flour
5. 1 cup vegetable oil (melted butter will suffice)
6. 2 tsp. vanilla extract
7. 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
8. 1/2 tsp. salt
9. Two large bowls
10. Two large spoons

To begin:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 9x13 pan.
3. In one large bowl mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla.
4. In the second bowl mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Pour the dry mixture into the egg mixture about a half cup at a time and stir.
6. Once thoroughly mixed, pour into greased pan.
7. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
8. Once finished baking, let cool for about 3 minutes.
9. Cut and enjoy!

I love these brownies because they're better than a box-mix and you get satisfaction of knowing you made them from scratch! I hope you found this recipe helpful and easy. If these aren't the best brownies you've tasted, post your recipe in the comment section:)
