Hurry Stir Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
1 - 1 1/3 cup sifted flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar (or Rapadura or Sucanat Sugar for a healthier version)
2 eggs
3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional) or 3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation

Melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan.
Meanwhile sift sugar and cocoa together.
Remove butter from heat and stir in sugar and cocoa.
Add eggs and beat until smooth.
Add sifted flour a little at a time, until completely mixed in (I normally use only 1 cup of flour.).
Spread batter in a greased and floured 8x8 pan.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Frost brownies with favorite frosting, if desired.
