Add the vanilla extract and mix.
Add the flour to the bowl and mix just until combined; do not over mix.
Pour the batter in the prepared baking pan.
Spread it to even out the surface.
Bake until the center is no longer soft, 40 to 45 minutes. Set the brownies aside to cool completely before icing.For the icing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla.
Mix until slightly combined, then add 1/2 cup of the coffee. Whip until the icing is light and fluffy. If the icing is overly thick, add 1/4 cup more coffee. It should be very light and fluffy.Ice the cooled brownies, spreading the icing on thick. Refrigerate until the icing is firm, and then slice the brownies into VERY SMALL squares. A little goes a long way!Notes
