Brownies

[Denim Deb]

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts-optional (I don't make it w/the nuts cuz I'm not overly fond of nuts.)

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add cocoa, flour, salt and nuts. Mix well. Pour into a buttered 9x13" pan. Make sure the corners are filled and the batter is even. Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and either let cool or eat warm. (I'll admit, I normally eat the first piece warm from the oven w/a big glass of milk. )

I have brownies in the oven right now. Warm with a glass of milk is the best!

:/ I may as well bake some and sit on them. That's where they'll wind up anyway. At least removal would be easier I'm HUNGRY now
