BEST AND EASIEST BROWNIES

My sisters favorite brownie recipe! She makes these for people all the time and it is an instant love affair! It is the simplest love affair you will ever have!

COCOA BROWNIES
(makes 16 brownies, of course depends on what size you cut them :)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 6x14 inch, approximately, baking pan.

IN A SMALL BOWL - STIR TOGETHER

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

IN ANOTHER BOWL - MIX TOGETHER

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
(an electric mixer is best, but I don't have one and I just mix it really really well :)
INTO THIS - MIX IN
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla extract (I like the fake vanilla because I don't like the alcohol flavor in the pure vanilla extract but this is really just depending on what you prefer)
1/4 tsp. almond extract (optional)

THEN TAKE THE FLOUR MIXTURE AND MIX INTO THE SUGAR MIXTURE UNTIL WELL MIXED.

OPTIONAL - 3/4 cups chopped walnuts (I like mine plain)

RECIPE FROM -
My mom's super old recipe book, "Wild About Brownies" by Barbara Albright and Leslie Weiner 

This is how your greased baking pan should look - a little oil and flour!























Brownie mix consistency before baking.

This is how they look once they are done - Cook for approximately 15 minutes. Poke them with a fork in the middle and make sure the middle is no longer liquid, it should have a chewy consistency.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
