Here’s a classic look at Lunchroom Ladies Brownies, a nostalgic recipe that’s been loved for decades 🍫🧁
🍫 Lunchroom Ladies Brownies (50-Year-Old Recipe)
Servings: 16
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
🍽️ Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Melt Butter
- In a saucepan or microwave, melt butter and let cool slightly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
5. Make the Batter
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until smooth.
- Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
6. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (slightly fudgy is okay).
7. Cool & Serve
- Cool in pan before cutting into squares.
- Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate glaze.
💡 Tips
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.
- Use high-quality cocoa for richer flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and moist.
If you want, I can also give a modernized “lunchroom style” version that keeps the classic taste but is even more fudgy and rich, like how brownies are served today.
Do you want me to do that?
