Instructions

To Prep: Preheat oven to 350ยฐF and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper (or coat with nonstick cooking spray).

  1. Prepare brownie batter according to directions on back of box, or use your favorite brownie recipe.
  2. When brownies are done baking (and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean), allow to cool completely, then carefully remove from pan onto a cutting board.
  3. Use an oval orย football-shaped cookie cutterย to cut brownies into footballs.
  4. Make sure individual brownies are right-side-up, then use white decorating icing to pipe the football laces on top of each brownie.

Prep Tips

  • Make ’em healthier – Want a guilt-free version of our football brownies? Try our favorite recipe for Chocolate Avocado Brownies (they’re gluten free!) and our “Magic” 2-ingredientย White Chocolate Coconut Oil Frosting!
  • Yield – When I made these brownies, I ended up with 6 footballs. I used the largest oval cookie cutter in the set, so if you use a smaller cookie cutter, you may be able to get more brownies.
  • Cookie Cutters – You can use any cookie cutter that is a football shape. I had a set of oval cookie cutters that worked perfectly and allowed me to pick the right size for my brownies to get the most out of the batch. And don’t worry, nothing was wasted…the kids and I snacked on the scraps!
  • Decorating – To draw the laces on the footballs, you can use pre-made decorating icing (that comes in a squeeze bottle) or regular white frosting and a piping bag.ย Be sure to allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting so the icing stays in place.
  • Storage – Keep any leftovers in a single layer in an airtight container, or on a plate loosely covered with foil, at room temperature for 2-3 days.
