Instructions

Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Make the Batter: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool & Cut: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a football-shaped cookie cutter or cut them into football shapes by hand.
Decorate: If using chocolate frosting, spread a thin layer over each brownie for extra fudginess. Pipe white icing or melted white chocolate on top to create football laces.
Serve & Enjoy! Perfect for game day snacking!

Notes

For even fudgier brownies, slightly underbake them and let them firm up as they cool.
Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small cut in the corner to make the laces.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
