Mmmmmmm.  Chocolate.  There actually used to be a woman at our church who didn’t like chocolate.  Can you imagine?

If you don’t like chocolate, this is still a fabulous recipe to have in your CDE arsenal, because chances are, the other 99% of the attendees, friends and family love it!

Homemade Brownies

For this recipe, you will need a disposable 8×8 foil pan for each batch of brownies you are making, if using for a Cookie Dough Exchange (or freezing ahead)

3/4 c. butter

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 eggs

3/4 c. flour

1/2 c. cocoa

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Grease 8x8x2″ pan.

In a medium bowl, mix butter, sugar and vanilla.

Beat in eggs with a spoon until combined.

In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips).  Add to first bowl and mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.  Add in chocolate chips. (you can reserve a few to sprinkle on the top if you want).

Bake 40-45 min in a preheated 350F oven, until brownies start to pul away from pan.
