Old Fashioned Brownies

This recipie for brownies is my son's favorite. He is now 21 but ever since he was small he would ask me to make these anytime his friends came over. They all loved them! To this day, when I see his friends they always mention how much they loved this treat!



They're fast & DELICIOUS. And the great thing about this recipe is that you can dress them up for company by cutting them up like petit fours and putting some white frosting with a cherry, or you might just pour regular chocolate chips after they come out of the oven and spread it around after the chips are melted (cheaper than buying frosting). You can swirl them with cream cheese (mixed with one egg & 1/4 c. sugar) before putting them in the oven and make swirl brownies--quite honestly--they're great!

2 Eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. old stale strong coffee

3/4 stick butter

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup all purpose flour

Melt butter & chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute (stir to blend). Meanwhile, in medium size bowl, beat eggs lightly with a a wooden spoon. Stir in sugar, salt, vanilla, & coffee. Add the melted butter and chocolate chips to the mix. Stir in flour until it is all well blended. Do not overbeat! Spread mixture into a greased 8 inch square pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. Brownies should still be soft and not overdone. Let cool in pan and cut into 12 regular size or 24 small bars.
