Lunchroom Ladies Brownies-50 year old recipe!

Ingredients:

Brownies:

1 cup butter

1/2 cup cocoa

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

4 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped nuts

Icing:

1/4 cup softened butter

1/4 cup canned milk (regular milk is fine)

1/4 cup cocoa

3 cups powdered sugar

Dash of salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of cocoa.

Add 2 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar to the cocoa mixture.

Beat in 4 eggs and add 4 tsp of vanilla. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Stir in 1 cup of chopped nuts.

Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), the brownies are done. Be careful not to overbake.

While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup canned milk, 1/4 cup cocoa, 3 cups powdered sugar, and a dash of salt. Blend until smooth.

Once the brownies are done baking, allow them to cool slightly in the pan.

Spread the icing evenly over the warm brownies.

Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Enjoy your delicious Lunchroom Ladies Brownies!
