Simple, Scrumptious Brownies

I found this recipe at allrecipes.com. I like that website; I find lots of good recipes there with ratings and comments. The comments sometimes offer adjustments to ingredients and ways of cooking that make the outcome of certain recipes much better. That's what happened with this recipe. I adjusted some of the ingredients after reading through the comments, and this is my version of that brownie recipe. I like my brownies more chewy than cake-like. If you like the latter more, you might want to go by the original recipe for these brownies. The original recipe is here.

This recipe is fast and easy. I think I've made it three times in the last couple of weeks. I blame these brownies on my not being able to start my diet, which I need now more than ever thanks to these brownies.

My version...

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup (two sticks) melted butter

1/2 cup + 1/3 cup cocoa (i experimented with the measurement and this is what i think i ended up using to get the amount of chocolate flavor i wanted; i haven't done exact measuring when it comes to the cocoa. i love chocolate, so i put more than what the original recipe calls for.)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

*You can add walnuts if you like; I don't add them.

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. In a large bowl blend both sugars and the melted butter, then add all other ingredients in the order given above. Grease a 9x13 baking pan. I use Pam for Baking, which smells wonderful.  Add the brownie batter to the pan and bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. I usually bake for 25 minutes. Cool before cutting. It's that easy.

Enjoy! :)
