Texas Bars aka Brownies

Growing up I had a neighbor lady who used to live in Texas. This recipe came from her and was simply known as Texas bars.  They are pretty amazing, especially with butter cream chocolate frosting.

What you will need: 2 c flour, 2 c sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp soda, 1/2 c mayonnaise, 2 sticks margarine, 1 c water, 4 Tbsp cocoa

Combine the flour, sugar, eggs, salt and soda in the mixer.  Mix until it forms a sand like consistency.  Add the mayonnaise and mix until combine.  In a small pan bring the margarine, water, and cocoa to a boil. Slowing add it to the flour mixture.  I always add a little in at a time so the liquid doesn't slosh out of the mixer.  Pour into a greased 13x18 pan or pan similar in size.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.  Let cool before frosting.
