Cooking with the Journal-Deluxe Brownie Fingers

It is about time for another cookie recipe.  This is a very easy and quick brownie recipe.  I like this recipe because it uses cocoa and not a lot of it, and the butter is melted so you don’t have to wait for it to soften.

I do not use the Fudge Frosting recipe that was included with the recipe as I have a similar but easier one that I will post below the recipe.
