Instructions
In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt entire 1 cup butter (half will go to the brownies, half to the frosting).
Continue cooking the butter on medium heat until it turns golden brown and forms brown flecks, about 6-8 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning on the bottom.
Allow butter to cool for about 5 minutes.
To prepare brownies:
Divide the browned butter in half, and pour one of the halves into a large mixing bowl.
Add the sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vinegar to the mixing bowl, and mix until blended.
Add in the eggs, and mix until well-incorporated.
Add in the flour, and mix until just combined.
Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For frosting:
In a small mixing bowl, pour remaining browned butter.
Beat in cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
