1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 c. raisins (or golden)
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup Hershey’s premium European style cocoa
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 c. coarsely chopped nuts
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar, optional
Heat oven to 350°. Grease 8-inch square baking pan. In small mixer bowl beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. In separate bowl stir together flour, cocoa, chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, cinnamon and salt; add to butter mixture, stirring until well blended. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until bars just begin to pull away from sides of pan; cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Sift powdered sugar over top if desired. About 20 bars.
I'm currently debating the value of holding on to cookbooks that contain just a handful of favorites. I'm finding that many of the recipes (like this one) are online somewhere. But will I regret getting rid of the paper copy? If I needed to make brownies during a power outage, maybe. (But I can probably think of better uses for that shelf that is currently holding dozens of cookbooks.) Anyway, these brownies are noted as being "excellent" and I cut down the cocoa to 1/3 cup.

I was just thinking the other day about going through your cookbooks/recipe box for valuable recipes to compile into a separate cookbook. It would solve your space problem and also leave us with a hard copy (or two or three). Maybe a Christmas project. ;-)
