Divine Brownies

These are the best brownies I have found. Very simple to make. Pull the butter and the cream cheese out of the fridge the night before so they come to room temperature.

Divine Brownies

Grease a 13"x 9" pan and preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl cream together:

         1 cup butter (softened)

         3 oz. cream cheese (softened)

         2 cups sugar

Gradually beat in:

         3 eggs

         1 tsp. vanilla

In a separate bowl, sift together:

         1 cup flour

         3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

         1/4 tsp. baking powder

         1/2 tsp. salt

Gradually add the dry ingredient to the butter mixture until well blended. 

Stir in 3/4 cups chocolate chips. Spread batter into pan and sprinkle the top with 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.  

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes( use the shorter time if you like them fudgy).
