Grandma's Mounds Cookie Brownines...

Recently I found a hidden vintage recipe of my GrandMother -inlaws.... GrandMa D was an amazing ranch cook....I learned plenty from her...and cherish every moment of my cooking lessons. When I was first married, we would see Orney's grandparents whenever we went home for a visit. She was a wealth of information, and frugal. That woman's cupboards would look like Mrs. Hubbards and she would manage to pull a meal together fit for a King! Anyhoo...found this recipe in the bottom of a recipe box, turned upside down...It looked like a scrap of paper with Aunt Toni's old phone number on it....So glad I turned it over....This was the recipe on the other side!

I love this recipe...it tastes like a Mounds Bar but was written by Grandma in the early 1960's. (On a side note...Mounds Candy Bars came about in 1970) . Grandma didn't name her recipe, I did.
They reminded me of a mounds bar.
