Recipe of the day – 07.08.11

The Cottage has today been smelling of that all-time favourite – brownies!!  Here’s the recipe if you want to share the taste:

Brownies (makes 16)

½ cup butter

½ cup sugar

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup unsweetened cocoa

2 eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup small marshmallows

Heat the oven to 350 degrees and grease or foil line an 8 inch square baking pan.

In a mixing bowl beat the butter, sugars and cocoa until well blended.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

In a small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together.  Stir into the cocoa mixture.  Stir in the vanilla and marshmallows.

Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester / toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool completely.  Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
