SUPER, MOIST Brownies!

The other day, I really wanted some brownies.  However, there was a ton of snow and I was not about to make my way to the grocery store for a box of brownies.  So, I pulled out this cookbook and looked for a recipe.  I came across a simple recipe that is absolutely amazing!

You can tell by the picture just how MOIST these are.  Downside:  My husband doesn't like super, moist brownies.  He chalked these up to "chocolate cake brownies."   Either way, they were a hit with all and very, very good!

Super Moist Brownies
1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 T. Cocoa (heaping!!!)
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional: I didn't add it...)

Combine butter, water, and cocoa in a pan.  Heat to boiling, then immediately remove from heat.  

Add flour, sugar and salt. Beat.

Add sour cream, eggs, and baking soda.  (If you want it less cake-y, only use one egg).  Beat.

Add nuts.

Great pan and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.  Although keep your eye on it!  The recipe originally said 250 degrees for 20-22 minutes, but I did that and it was still liquid after 25 minutes!  

ENJOY!!! It's AMAZING with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on top!
