Source of Recipe


Sunset, September 1999






List of Ingredients



• About ¼ cup butter
  
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• About 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  
• ¾ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  






Instructions



1. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium-high heat, melt ¼ cup butter until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool, 20 to 25 minutes.
   
   
2. Add sugar, egg, vanilla, baking powder and salt; stir to mix well. Add 1 cup flour and stir until incorporated; mixture will be stiff. Stir in ½ of the chocolate, and ½ of the nuts.
   
   
3. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan. Spread batter level in pan; sprinkle with remaining chocolate and nuts. Bake in a 350-degree oven until edges begin to pull from pan sides and brownies are firm to touch in the center, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack at least 30 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Serve warm or cool.
   
   Makes 8 pieces.
