Mom's Brownies

Mom made these my whole childhood and everyone loved them! They were sticky, chewy goodness. Sometimes we couldn't wait for them to cool in the pan enough for her to cut them!

Preheat oven to 325°

Put 2 sticks margerine or butter in a saucepan and dump 2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa on top. Put on medium heat and melt the butter.  Stir to blend cocoa into the butter.

In separate bowl beat 2 eggs and stir in 3 c. sugar one cup at a time.
Add the chocolate/butter mixture and mix thoroughly.

Sift together:
2 1/4 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. baking powder

Add dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and blend well.  Add 3 t. vanilla.  Add optional walnuts or pecans.

Pour into greased 9x5 casserole.  Bake in preheated oven for 20 min.  Might not look done but it's easy to overcook and if they are they get hard. Remove and let cool very thoroughly before cutting.  These brownies are the chewy-gooey variety and quite addictive!
