Katharine Hepburn's Brownies 14
Chewy brownies that are easy to make and delicious! Uses hardly any flour and lots of nuts. Miss Hepburn used 2 ounces of baking chocolate but I use the cocoa powder and oil equivalent. My way there is no chance of burning the chocolate while melting it. Also it is important to remove the wax paper lining ASAP so it won't become attached during cooling.
Laugh, cook, eat, live!
