Brownies

Lately I have been making brownies for my family, they are always gone fast and everyone loves them, I found the recipe in an old school cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
  
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• any kind of nut (optional)

• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup confectioners sugar

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
4. To Make Frosting: Combine 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup confectioners sugar. Frost brownies while they are still warm. 

Changes: 

My family loves how the brownies turn out, they're always gone so fast!
I liked how I put them in for just the right amount of time and they turned out fantastic.
I didn't use nuts, I don't really like the taste of them in brownies.
