Ooey Chewy Brownies

Ooey Chewy Brownies

1 2/3 C. sugar
1 1/2 stick of real butter, melted
2 Tbsp. water
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract (you can use almond instead if you like and it gives it an awesome flavor)
1 1/3 cups self rising flour*
3/4 c. baking cocoa (we prefer nestle)
3/4 chopped nuts (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350 deg. F. Put the sugar butter and water in a big bowl. Beat together. In a small bowl, gently beat the eggs just enough to mix them up. Pour the eggs and the vanilla into the big bowl with the sugar mixture. Stir well. Add the cocoa and the flour and mix well.....this will be a thick, slightly stiff, batter. Stir in nuts. Spread batter in a well greased 13x9 baking pan. Bake for 20- 25 min. until you can insert a fork and it come out clean. Cool in pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into bars.We love this brownie recipe. And they go over really well at potlucks because they are sooo rich.
