For an extra fudgy brownie, underbake slightly. If you don't have a tree-shaped cookie cutter, use a knife to cut the brownies into squares or rectangles. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepGradually beat in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)
04
StepSpread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. (1 minute)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Do not overbake. (30 minutes)
06
StepRemove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
07
StepWhile the brownies cool, prepare the buttercream frosting: In a large bowl, cream the vegetable shortening until light and fluffy. (3 minutes)
08
StepGradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
09
StepAdd the 3 fluid ounces of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on low speed until moistened. Add up to 1 additional ounce of cream, if needed, to reach desired consistency. (2 minutes)

StepOnce the brownies are completely cooled, use a tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out 8 Christmas tree shapes. (5 minutes)
13
StepTransfer the green and white frostings to piping bags fitted with decorative tips. Pipe the frostings onto the cooled brownie trees to resemble snow-covered branches. (15 minutes)
