Onolicious Brownies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. 2
   Melt butter (low heat) in medium saucepan.
3. 3
   Add cocoa powder ; stir until well mixed.
4. 4
   Remove from heat.
5. 5
   Add vanilla and both sugars.
6. 6
   Add eggs to mixture, one at a time. (Mix each one in before adding the next.).
7. 7
   In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
8. 8
   Fold nuts and chips to the butter mix.
9. 9
   Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
10. 10
    Pour mixture into a 10x14 inch baking pan making sure it is spread out evenly. You can grease and flour the pan but I use parchment paper to ease the cleanup. [it will work in a 9x13 pan but will be thicker -- baking time will probably be affected -- I think an extra 5 minutes will do it].
11. 11
    Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
12. 12
    Slice when brownies have cooled. If you want it really sweet, sprinkle on a bit of confectioner's sugar to give it a nice finish.

    Option: I sometimes I chop 1/2 cup dried cherries and 1/2 cup dried cranberries and add these to the mix in place of the nuts. and sometimes I add 1-2 cups mini marshmallows to the original recipe.
