In a large bowl cream together your butter and

sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix well until

smooth.  Add your dry ingredients and stir until

just combined.  Do not overmix.  Batter will be

very thick.

Pour the batter into prepared pan, smooth it out

as best as you can (It is thick) and bake for 20-25

minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center

comes out clean.  Err on the side of underbaking

if you are questioning.

Remove from the oven and let the brownies sit for

about 15 minutes. You want them to still be warm

when you pour on the icing.  Once you remove the

brownies from the oven, make your icing by

mixing all 4 ingredients together until smooth.

Pour the icing over top of the still very warm

brownies.  Cool completely and serve.
