Scratch Brownies

Here’s a scratch Brownie recipe I’ve used many times. It’s easy to make and always comes out good. It’s the chewy kind versus the “cake” kind.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Mix all ingredients well in a medium bowl.  Top with the chocolate chips. Butter and flour a 8 inch square baking dish. Bake at 350F for approximately 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick to be sure it’s done. Cool. Eat. Note: To make the brownies a bit more cake-like, add an extra egg, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and another 1/4 cup of flour.
