Classic Brownies
Sweet, fudgy, and chewy brownies.
Ingredients
- ½ cup margarine or butter
- ¼ cup cocoa sifted
- 1 cup sugar granulated
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup flour all-purpose
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan melt 1/2 cup margarine over medium heat. Then add 1/4 cup sifted cocoa, and 1 cup of granulated sugar and mix well.
-
Add in eggs one at a time, working quickly so the eggs don't start to cook. You may want to let the batter cool for 5-10 minutes before adding the eggs. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
-
Stir in the flour and salt until fully incorporated.
-
Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray and/or place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan.
-
Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
-
Bake in preheated 425° F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
