Cozy Comfort Brownies

At the library where I work, we are always coming up with excuses to bring in food to share. Our latest excuse is a Cozy Comfort Food party.  There is no dessert that screams comfort food to me like a fresh baked brownie, so that is what I volunteered to bring. I found a super easy brownie recipe (always better when from scratch) and threw in my own flair, of course. As I write this, my entire house smells of chocolate goodness and my poor husband doesn't even get any.

Here is the recipe....

In large bowl, melt 1 cup butter. Stir in 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 eggs. Mix well. Preheat oven to 350 F. Next, mix in 1 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Affter thoroughly combined, pour mixture into greased 8x8 pan. For my own flair, I sprinkled a little cinnamon and nutmeg on top to give it an extra cozy flavor kick. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. I can't wait to taste these tomorrow along with the other tasty treats at our cozy comfort food party!
