Super Easy Brownies

Ingredients:

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, soften (plus a little extra for the pan)
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts of choice (optional)

Directions:
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and butter/grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

* In a bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in eggs.

* In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir this into the egg mixture until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired.

* Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

* Bake for 22 - 25 minutes, or until the brownie begins to pull away from the edges of the pan. Let cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Enjoy!
Good luck
