Lunch Lady Brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup of Butter (I use unsalted)

1/2 cup of Cocoa
2 cups of Flour
2 cups of Sugar
4 Eggs

4 teaspoons of Vanilla

1 cup of Chopped Nuts (optional)

Directions:

Melt Butter, add cocoa (mix together until smooth).

Add flour, and sugar. Beat together and then add eggs, vanilla, and nuts. Mix until combined. Do not over stir. Pour into greased, floured  9x13 baking pan*.  

* An additional part of this recipe said that if you want to double the recipe, use a large baking sheet.

Bake 20-25 minutes @350 F or until done. I would check at it at 20 minutes. Wait only about 10 minutes to frost brownies. Frost them while they are warm (not hot).

The Chocolate Icing Recipe:

To make while the brownies bake 

1/4 cup of softened Butter

1/4 cup of canned Milk (regular milk is fine)

1/4 cup of Cocoa

3 cups of Powdered Sugar

Dash of Salt

Mix all together and frost as desired.
