Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have a 9x13 inch pan
ready. Line with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray so that the bars
easily lift out and are easy to cut.
2.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa,
salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup butter
softened and sugar until light and creamy. About 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs,
vanilla, and food coloring until combined.
4.
Add the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
Press into the bottom of the 9x13 inch pan. Bake for about 20 minutes until the
edges start to pull away from the sides and a toothpick entered into the center
comes out clean. Allow to completely cool before frosting.
5.
To make the cream cheese frosting, Beat together
the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat together
until smooth. Frost the top of the bars and enjoy!
