Eat them plain, sprinkled with powdered sugar, frosted or embellished with
any of the following toppings. For more elaborate brownies, add a cup or two
of chocolate chips, or a cup of chopped maraschino cherries.
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa (rounded)
One and a half cups flour 1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla. Add Cocoa, then flour, salt and nuts.
Mix Well. Spread into a greased 13 x 9 pan, pushing plenty of batter into the corners so
brownies bake even. Bake at 350 degrees approximately 30 minutes. I always check the
middle with a toothpick to make sure it comes out batter free to ensure the brownies
are baked thoroughly.
