Brownies, very good ones

Brownies

1 c margarine                     Melt 2/3 c cocoa                        Add

2 c sugar 4 eggs 1 ½ tsp vanilla                    Beat in

1 1/3 c flour 1 tsp baking powder           Add, beat everything vigorously with a spoon

1 c walnuts or pecans         Stir in

Pour into a greased 9 x 12’’ pan, and bake at 325-340o F for 30 to 40 minutes.

I find that baking them at a lower temperature for a longer time makes for a softer, chewy brownie without the ‘rocks’ in each corner.  Also, I have made this recipe in a glass pizza pan,  They cook a little more quickly, and make more pieces to go around, albeit thinner.  Like diet brownies, with all the taste.

Frosting

3 Tbsp melted butter ½ c cocoa                          Combine

¼ c milk ½ tsp vanilla 2 c icing sugar                     Blend until smooth, and ice the brownies
