G1's Favorite Brownies

G1 loves brownies.  She is always asking to make them. I don't blame her - I like them myself (but then, I like anything with sugar.)  I try not to keep them around all the time because I will eat too many.  Last week, she had a sleep-over with four friends.  (Five girls in one small room was interesting.  I'm glad I don't do that every night.)  In honor of her guests, we made brownies.  These are easy and delicious.

Double Fudge Brownies

1 c butter or margarine, softened
4 eggs
2 c sugar
1 c cocoa
1 c flour
1 c chopped nuts or coconut
1 c chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well.  Add remainder of ingredients and mix until smooth.  Spread mixture into a greased 13 x 9 pan and bake at 325 for 40 - 50 min.

You could add chocolate icing if you're really a chocoholic, but then the name would have to be changed to Triple Fudge Brownies - who would want that?
