SUSY'S BROWNIES

 This recipe came to me from my friend Susy Carter, from college days long ago.

Cream together:

         1 2/3 cups sugar

         1 1/2 sticks butter, softened

Add, just till mixed in:

         3 eggs

         2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla

Add sifted dry ingredients just till mixed - do not over mix!

         1 cup flour

         1/2 teaspoon baking powder

         3/4 teaspoon salt

         1/2 cup cocoa

Option:  add 1/2 - 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)

             

Bake 30-35 minutes at 350^o F in a 9x13 inch pan (toothpick should come out almost clean.)

Cool thoroughly before frosting.
