    brownies

    I'm looking for a recipe that I am pretty sure I got out of taste of home. It is for brownies and it has cherries and almond extract, vanilla extract, cocoa powder...I think, and it has pecans, I belive, sprinkled on the top, it might have been walnuts?

    Although I enjoy sweets, other recipes have failed me (I'm a beginning baker). But not this one! It's easy, and the ingredients are always on hand. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like most sweets, can't pass these brownies.

    1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup butter
    1 cup baking cocoa
    4 eggs
    2 cups sugar
    1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    1 cup maraschino cherries
    1/2 cup chopped nuts

    ICING:

    1/4 cup butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    6 tablespoons baking cocoa
    1/4 cup milk
    1/4 cup chopped nuts

    Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter. Remove from the heat and stir in cocoa until smooth. Blend in the eggs, sugar and extracts. Stir in the flour mixture, cherries and nuts. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
    For icing, in a bowl, blend the butter, vanilla confectioners' sugar, cocoa and milk until smooth; spread over hot brownies. Sprinkle with nuts. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
