Brownies

1 cup butter (no substitute), softened

1 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 cup vanilla sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla extract (not artificial vanilla flavoring)

Beat together until well creamed.

Add combined dry ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt (I use sea salt)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon (ground) (I used a premium cinnamon from Pampered Chef)

Blend into the creamed mixture a little at a time.

Spread into a greased 9"x9"x2" baking dish.

Bake at 325* for 30- 35 minutes, until done.

Cool.

Cut into squares.

May be frosted if desired.
