Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking pan or line with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Add the flour and stir until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the corners with a spatula. Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and kosher salt. Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until the mixture resembles dry crumbs. Add the milk and beat again for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
