Best Brownies

This recipe is from the Hershey's cookbook... it is my go-to easy brownie recipe that is made of pantry staples.

Best Brownies

1 stick butter or margarine, melted

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

½ cup all purpose flour

1/3 cup Hershey’s cocoa

¼ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped nuts, if desired

Heat oven to 350. Grease 9” square baking pan. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Add eggs; beat well. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts. Spread into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool and cut into 16 squares.
