Cranberry Brownies

Cranberry Brownies

I made these twice, and everybody loves them, so I'll share the recipe I googled up somewhere.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.
Place sugar, oil eggs and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer to combine. Add flour, cocoa and baking powder.
Mix on low speed for about one minute, gradually increasing to medium speed until dry ingredients are combined. Add cranberries, mixing well.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool completely before cutting.
Makes 9 brownies.
