Ingredients

½ cup cocoa

1 stick butter

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

¼ cup flour

1 cup broken-up walnuts or pecans

1 teaspoon vanilla

pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.

You may omit nuts if you wish.

3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts, and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
