Daniela’s Brownies
This recipe is from Joan Nathan’s book The Children’s Jewish Holiday Kitchen. If you prefer, use butter instead of margarine.
Joan Nathan says: “My children like to visit my Aunt Lisl’s daughter-in-law, Dorothy, the way I used to visit Aunt Lisl. Dorothy doesn’t make butter cookies, but she does make brownies which she serves at Hanukkah and every Friday night, a perfect ending to a meat meal. The children help make the brownies and then take a few extra home in aluminum foil. They love them—without the nuts.”
