How to Make Mom's Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder with ½ cup boiling water until smooth. Add this cocoa mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add milk (2-3 tablespoons) until you reach your desired icing consistency.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting with the chocolate icing. Slice and enjoy!
