Wedding Present Brownies

Rosie stuffed this hand written recipe card into a healthy eating cookbook she gifted me as a wedding present twenty four years ago,”For when you’re not counting calories”.  Apparently marriage seriously distracted me from calorie counting, cause I bet I’ve baked a bazillion batches of these fudge like brownies!  All five of my children can stir these up by heart as well- they enjoyed introducing new friends all around the world to Wedding Present Brownies.  This is my favorite brownie recipe because it uses simple ingredients, whips up in under 5 minutes and only uses one pan.  You will never need a mix again!!!

  •  Melt together on low heat
    • 1 cup butter
    • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • Add
    • 2 cups sugar
  • Add and beat in:
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Stir in gently
    • 1 1/3 cups flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Spread batter in a greased 9×11 or 9×13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes
  • We usually add 1 cup of chocolate chips.  other popular additions are pecans and coconut.
