- 2 1/2 cups sugar

How To Make Simply Delicious Sheet Pan Brownies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven – Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×18-inch sheet pan with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients – In a large bowl add melted butter. Allow butter to cool before adding eggs. If you add the eggs while the butter is too warm the eggs will start to cook. Your eggs will also need to be at room temperature before adding to the butter. If the eggs are too cold the butter will harden and won’t mix evenly. Add eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
Step 3: Add Sugar, Cocoa and Flour – Add sugar and cocoa powder and mix well. Add Flour and mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4: Spread Batter on the Sheet Pan – Pour the brownie batter onto the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring that it reaches the corners of the pan.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection – Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be cautious not to overbake, as it can result in dry brownies. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
How To Make Simply Delicious Sheet Pan Brownies Frosting
