Brownies

from mom

2 cups sugar
2 cubes butter
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cups nuts (optional)
6 oz mini chocolate chips
1/4 tsp baking powder

This is a one bowl recipe and can be mixed just a spoon. A mixer will overmix the batter.

In large mixing bowl, melt margarine. Add cocoa.

Add in sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Mix well with spoon.Add in flour and baking powder. Stir until mixed well. Pour into greased/floured 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, if desired, over top. Bake for 25 minutes at 350.

For marbled cheesecake brownies:
Combine: 8 oz pkg cream cheese, 1 beaten egg, and 1/2 cup sugar. With mixer, blend ingredients. Drop by Tbsp into brownie batter (already in pan). It doesn't have to be pretty, just somewhat even.Then use butter knife to swirl. I like to swirl from top to bottom and then again from side to side, being sure to get close to the edge so you get "cheesecake" in each bite!Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over batter. Bake for about 35 minutes at 350. Use toothpick to check for doneness.

Allow to cool and cut into squares. These are also great when they're still just slightly warm and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I've taken these marbled cheesecake brownies to school, church, and community functions and never had a disappointed "customer." They're always the first brownies to go! What's nice is they're so easy to make and so yummy.
