The BEST Brownie Recipe EVER

Hey, desert lovers!!

I have found the perfect brownie recipe. These turn out rich and gooey, not hard and dry. My whole family loves them. They're usually gone in five days! It takes a little work but the reward is definitely reaped in the end. If you love chocolaty sweets, look no further than these brownies.
  I'm going to tell you how to make them, but another place you might find this recipe is on a carton of Nestle Toll House cocoa powder. That is where I discovered this delicious recipe. I hope you'll enjoy them! Thanks for stopping by!! Catch you later!

You will need the following:

1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, melted (I don't usually melt it, but it helps if the butter is soft)
2 Tbsp. water
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Nestle Toll House Baking cocoa (a.k.a cocoa powder)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Powdered sugar (optional)

Preheat: oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 13x9 inch baking pan. (Waxed paper comes in handy during baking, but I find that the batter in this recipe is too thick and sticky to use with waxed paper. You can try and use waxed paper with this if you'd like, it saves on clean-up.)

Combine sugar, butter and water in large bowl. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; stir into sugar mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread into prepared baking pan.

Bake for 18 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut in to bars.        Enjoy!
