I tried this recipe for Easter and I think there is something missing from the recipe. Vanilla is listed in the prep instructions but not in the ingredient list. I just added 1 tsp. Also, did I do something wrong? Mine didn't rise at all. They were only about 1/4-1/2" thick. It seems to me that there should be some baking powder in there or somthing so they rise. Is that right? Regardless, they weren't too bad!

yeah, looking through the recipe, there's nothing in them to cause them to rise... no baking soda or powder.

To be honest, guys, I have no idea. Someone asked for a recipe for brownies awhile ago and I found this on the LA website. I never made it. Sorry it was so flat.

looking in one of the dessert subsections here, this recipe was posted in january of 2006 for brownies:

*BROWNIES FROM LAWL COOKBOOK*

3/4 c sugar (do not use Splenda, the sugar counts in the recipe as part of the starch exchange)
1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 c unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8x8 nonskick pan w/ cooking spray. Combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, blend well. Pour batter into pan and bake 20-30 min. Test w/ toothpick. Remove from oven & let cool 5 min. in pan.

Cut into 8 squares.

exchanges per brownie-2 starches.

Thanks, I'll try that one sometime. For what it's worth, the brownies were still pretty good. I just couldn't see taking them for one of the only dessert. My son ate them all up!

yeah, it's really hard to go wrong with a chewy dish of yummy chocolate regardless of the rise.

i made these tonight and they turned out great. i only baked them for about 13mins though, so they were nice and fudgy. 20-30mins seemed too long for brownies that aren't that thick. and these puffed up nicely too.

I made the brownies from the cookbook for the first time yesterday, and I don't think I ever will again. Don't get me wrong, they taste great, but I think they're a little too good! There's no way I can stop at one! I slipped up pretty badly today, and I think I ate 3 or 4 starches worth of them! I had to give the rest to my fiance's family just so I wouldn't eat them all!
