Daniela's Brownies

Makes about 18

My children like to visit my Aunt Lisl's daughter-in-law Dorothy the way I used to visit Aunt Lisl. Dorothy doesn't make butter cookies, but she does make brownies, which she serves at Hanukkah and every Friday night, a perfect ending to a meat meal.

The children help make the brownies and then take a few extra home in aluminum foil. They love them -- without the nuts.
