- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into football shapes.
- Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour in the milk or heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy.
- Divide the frosting into two bowls. Leave one bowl white and tint the other with brown gel food coloring.
- Transfer the brown frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
- Outline each brownie with the brown frosting to create the football shape. Add laces and other details.
- Pipe thin lines of white frosting across the football shape to mimic the laces.
