Chewy Chocolate Brownies

I haven't used this recipe in a long time and I pulled it out last night for a young woman activity. After they were done I remember that they are WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS!! If you like chocolaty, this is the brownie for you.


CHEWY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES


2/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. butter softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)
2 c. (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over hot, not boiling, water. (I just put the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 2 minutes) Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs. Beat well. Slowly stir in melted chocolate. Blend together. Gradually add flour mixture to chocolate mixture stir until smooth. Stir in remaining chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Spread into a buttered 8 " square baking pan. I have used a 9x13 pan, just don't cook it as long.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool. You can dust with powdered sugar.

Butter Rolls

I got this recipe from a good friend, Tanya Smuin, in Vernal, Utah. This is Daymon's favorite roll recipe.

BUTTER ROLLS

2 c. warm water
2 Tbsp. yeast
2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
Dissolve yeast then add:
3 c. flour
mix this in and then add:
1 egg
1/4 c. oil
mix together and add:
2-3 c. more flour

Let this raise for 1 hour.
About 10 minutes before dough is done raising turn on the oven to 400 degrees and put a cookie sheet with 1 cube of butter on the pan. Melt the butter on the cookie sheet and after the butter is melted take the pan out of the oven.
After 1 hour take the dough out of the bowl and on a greased or floured surface roll out the dough about 1/2 inches thick. Use a circle shape to push into the dough to make the desired shape then dip the dough in the butter, and fold the circle in half and place on the pan. Continue to do this until all the dough is used and you fill up the pan with rolls.
Raise for 10 minutes and then place in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes, turning half way through the baking. Take out when golden brown.
YUMMY!
