Recipe for gooey chocolate butter brownies

Here is a recipe that I made up a few days ago when I had a hankering for something sweet, but couldn't find anything satisfying in the cookbooks:

Ingredients :

*1 stick of butter (softened)

*2 small pinches of salt

*1 cup of sugar

*1 tsp vanilla

*2 Tbl cocoa powder

*1 egg

*1 1/2 cup self rising flour

*3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

____________________________________________

Directions:

*pre-heat oven to 350 and grease and 8 x 11" pan

*Mix sugar, butter, and salt in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer

*Stir in vanilla & cocoa powder

*Add egg and mix in

*Mix (or stir) flour in

*Stir in chocolate chips

*Put batter in greased pan and place in oven for about 35 minutes

*Take out when it is still a little underdone (but not uncooked) and wait to cool for about 10 minutes.

*Cut into squares and ENJOY!!!

CAUTION!!!  This is a fattening recipe and after looking over the ingredients again, I can't believe that we didn't all roll over and die of heart attacks!  But. . . if it is something sweet you crave, then this is the right recipe for you :)
