Joe's Fudgy Brownies

There are a few recipes that my family loves and that we prepare regularly. Unfortunately, I keep misplacing the recipes. The similar recipes from cookbooks and the internet are not as good and we are always disappointed. Last summer I made a recipe file on our computer. Problem solved. When our computer crashed last month, we lost many documents including our favorite recipes. To save future problems, I am posting some of these recipes on our blog.

Joe's Fudgy Brownies (from the back of Spartan Cocoa, 16 years ago)

1/2 Cup butter or margarine
1/2 Cup baking cocoa
1 Cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 Cup flour
1/2 Cup chopped nuts (we use pecans or walnuts)

Grease 8 x 8" pan. Melt butter in pan. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa. Beat until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Stir in vanilla and flour. Do NOT overbeat. Fold in nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. If feeling really indulgent frost with Karen's Fudgy Frosting.
