Process until smooth, about 10-15 seconds. Add cocoa & nuts. Pulse until cocoa disappears. Add flour and pulse until it disappears. DO NOT over mix. Spread into buttered 9" square pan. Bake in preheated 350 oven 35 min. Cool, cut into squares. Makes 9-16 Awesome Brownies.

Note: Probably could be made with a mixer, Ive never tried it. Cream butter & sugar on med speed until fluffy.. Add eggs etc mix until smooth, add cocoa, mix again. Add flour and mix with spoon, only until it's incorporated, add nuts, mix gently. Over mixing will make them tough & cakey. Bake as directed.
