Kairle's Brownies

Cream:
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cocoa

Add:
4 eggs, one at a time
2 tsp vanilla

Then add:
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup nuts (optional)

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes in a greased 9X13 pan.

*The key to getting these to cut and serve nicely is to make them well in advance and allow time for them to cool completely (they taste even better old, imo).



CHOCOLATE FROSTING

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3-5 TBSP milk

Cream butter, cocoa and approximately half of the powdered sugar, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add 3 TBSP milk and vanilla and beat well. Add remaining powdered sugar and enough milk to make a nice spreading consistency. Beat for 3-5 minutes.
