Tom's Friend's Brownies

A humorous note added to this recipe is: 2 to 12 servings, depending on how generous you are with your chocolate.  This Tom is unknown to me.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

3 eggs

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the nuts)

1/2 cup chopped nuts or to taste

1/2 cup chocolate chips

***

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar together well. Add vanilla and eggs. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, then add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.

Pour into an 8" X 8" baking dish. Bake 35 to 45 minutes. The longer you bake the more they are cake like. Less time produces a fudgy-chewy brownie.
