These brownies have been cherished for generations, originating from vintage church cookbooks. They boast a rich chocolate flavor and a fudgy texture that's sure to please any crowd. Feel free to add chopped nuts for extra crunch!
Ingredients: 2 cups sugar. 1 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/2 cup cocoa powder. 4 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup chopped nuts optional.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, and cocoa powder until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract. Mix in flour and salt until just combined. Fold in chopped nuts, if using. Pour batter into prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
