The Best Chocolate Brownie Recipe From Mom's Old Recipe Box

Here's Mom's best brownie recipe straight from her old recipe box. Do you love the taste of chocolatey, chewy brownies with bits of nuts in them? If so, you will love these. They were always a favorite treat at our house.

Whenever Mom needed to quickly bake a dessert item to take to a family get-together, this is the easy brownie recipe she used. It always turned out okay, and the chocolate brownies always tasted delicious.

As the old fashioned recipe says, the secret is to leave the brownies slightly underdone. Whatever you do, do NOT over bake them, and they should turn out deliciously soft and chewy every time.

Best Chocolate Brownie Recipe

This easy brownie recipe is taken from Mom's old recipe box.

Cream 1/2 cup butter; add 1 cup sugar, mix in 2 eggs beaten slightly, add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in 2/3 cup sifted flour, add 2 squares bitter chocolate, melted, and 1/2 cup nutmeats.

Use an 8-inch pan lined with wax paper and bake 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 325°F. Be watchful NOT to over bake; to have underdone is part of the delicious secret.

Chocolate Brownie Recipe

This is another recipe for chocolate brownies that Mom often used. It is also taken from her old recipe box.

1/3 cup shortening or butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 heaping teaspoons cocoa
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Melt shortening, add sugar, then egg. Sift flour, salt, baking powder. Add nuts. Mix ingredients well together. Put in greased 8-by-8-inch tin. Bake in 375°F oven for 20 minutes, or until done. Ice while still warm.

Enjoy trying Mom's best brownie recipe. I can still remember the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked brownies filling our old farm kitchen. Make an old-fashioned treat for your family.
