Brownie Recipe for Julia

You asked for a Brownie Recipe that you remembered from long ago.  I think this is the one you remember.  It's chewy and yummy.  It was a recipe contributed to an old cookbook by Donna B., Diane J. and Karen M.  

1 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
Cream together and add 4 eggs, beating after each egg
Add
1 3/4 c. flour
2 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts--pecans, walnuts, etc. (optional)

Mix above ingredients well and pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  Cool and frost.  Make your own chocolate butter frosting or frost with a tub of purchased chocolate frosting or use 1 tub of Betty Crocker "Whipped" Fluffy White Frosting. 

For Christmas add peppermint extract to white frosting and color the frosting pink.  Crush candy cane and sprinkle over the top.  You can also melt chocolate chips and drizzle the choclate over the top, using a sandwich bag with a corner clipped, for a fancier look. 

Add mint extract and light green food coloring for a mint-chocolate taste.  (Some of these ideas are from Karen Y.)
