- Grease a 9x9 inch pan and preheat the oven to 350*.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and blend into butter mixture.
- Pour into greased pan and bake ABOUT 30 mins., depending on your oven. *BAKE LESS TIME IF YOU LIKE YOUR BROWNIES FUDGEY AND MORE TIME IF YOU LIKE THEM CAKEY*.
- While brownies are baking, make the frosting: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and stir in cocoa powder and milk.
- Off heat, beat in the sugar.
- Spread evenly over brownies while they are still warm (not immediately out of the oven).
- When cool, cut into small squares.
- The yield depends on how large you cut them.
- This recipe is easily doubled (bake in a 9x13 pan) and nuts may be added to both the brownies and the frosting.

An avid cook since I was a teenager, and a retired First-Grade teacher, my students and I used to cook twice a month in the classroom, coordinating what we prepared with our curriculum. I always snuck in mini- lessons on nutrition and manners at the same time. :) The children loved it, taking home recipes they made in class and asking their parents to make them again at home. THESE were no boring lessons on liquid and dry measurement! If you think about it, cooking is largely a combination of math, chemistry, and artistry.
Fond memories of my students play a role in my cooking-life today. A giant, framed, black chalkboard graces one dining room wall, replete with the menu-of-the-day in manuscript handwriting and simple chalk drawings.
Special joys in my life these days, (besides two outstanding grown children :), family, friends, and cooking) include gardening/landscaping, writing a book about teaching, music, discovering watercolors by local artists, and exploring my new island home, where bald eagles and Dungeness crabs are among my neighbors.
