Brownies~ Leaha<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 cup of melted butter<br /><br /><br /><br />
1/2 cup of cocoa powder (Hershey's)<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 cup granulated (white) sugar<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 cup of packed brown (light or dark) sugar<br /><br /><br /><br />
4 whole eggs (no need to separate)<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 cup of cake flour<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 teaspoon of baking powder<br /><br /><br /><br />
a dash of salt<br /><br /><br /><br />
1 teaspoon of vanilla<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Melt the butter and add the cocoa, next add the granulated and brown sugars. Mix these together and beat.<br /><br /><br /><br />
Add each egg 1 at a time and beat after each addition. Sift the three dry ingredients and combine with the above.<br /><br /><br /><br />
Last add the vanilla. <br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Walnuts may be added.<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Grease and flour an 11x16 inch pan; bake at 325 approximately 20 minutes (each oven is different).<br /><br /><br /><br />
Do not over cook. <br /><br /><br /><br />

What ever you do don't set them outside to cool or you will be sending an open invitation to every squirrel in the county/parish or borough that you live in...ask me how I know?<br /><br /><br /><br />
Sorry, I don't a picture to include. Hope if you try them, that you like them.<br /><br />

If this helps; you can use a mug you drink coffee, tea or hot chocolate out of as long as it isn't over 10 ounces. Just use it throughout the recipe...don't change to another.
I forget our measuring system is different from most of the worlds.
Hope they turn out great and that he is a very happy camper.
brownies are hard to beat. Thanks for sharing the recipe! sharon
