Got a craving. I never liked brownies with frosting. I like these because they call for cocoa, which I always have on hand, as opposed to melting chocolate.
Brownies
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flour
Pinch salt
Melt butter and brown sugar together. Beat the egg in a cup, add some of the slightly cooled butter/sugar to it, then stir into the rest of the butter/sugar in the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients, but don’t overmix. Spread in a greased square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until firm to the touch but not dry.
