Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 tablespoons red food coloring
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– Cream cheese frosting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Let it cool for a few minutes.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the red food coloring and unsweetened cocoa powder until a smooth paste forms. Add this mixture to the batter and mix until the batter is a deep red color.

6. Add the salt and white vinegar to the batter and mix until well combined.

7. Gradually add the flour to the batter and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

8. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

11. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Once the brownies are completely cool, you can frost them with cream cheese frosting if desired. To make the frosting, simply beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
