Little Arthur's Skinny Brownies

Crisp and Chewy ~ Good Keepers

These are good when you are low on ingredients or want a less-rich brownie. Don't leave out the nuts--they are essential to the texture of this cookie. These truly are quite skinny (about one-quarter inch or so thick!).

• 1 OZ. UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE
• 1/4 CUP BUTTER OR MARGARINE
• 1/2 CUP SUGAR
• 1 EGG
• 1/4 CUP FLOUR
• 1 TSP VANILLA
• 1/8 TSP SALT
• 1/3 CUP FINELY CHOPPED NUTS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 13x9” baking pan.
Melt chocolate and butter over low heat (mixture should be melted but not hot). Remove from heat; stir in sugar. Add egg, flour, vanilla and salt; mix well. Spread mixture evenly in pan (it will seem like there is not enough batter, but there is enough to cover bottom of pan if you are careful). Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes or until top is firm to touch. Cool slightly; cut in bars (note: must be cut while hot). When cool, remove from pan to rack to crisp. Makes 24.
