Paula's Quick Brownies

Paula gave me this ingredient list for the brownies she makes.  Quick 'n easy... and good.

INGREDIENTS:

2 sticks softened butter
2 cups sugar
4 whole eggs, slightly beaten
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup cocoa
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Cream together the butter and sugar.  Add eggs.  Mix.  Add the baking powder, salt and cocoa.  Stir in.  Lastly, add the flour and nuts (optional).  Stir only long enough to incorporate.

Bake in greased 9x13-inch pan at 350-degrees for about 30 minutes.  Check for doneness with a toothpick.  (Don't over bake.)
