Half Baking Sheet Brownies

*2 cups All-purpose Flour
*1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
*1 cup Baking Cocoa, powder
*1/2 teaspoon Salt

Mix together the wet ingredients, with wooden spoon; melted butter/shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined well and do not beat or whip.

Whisk together the dry ingredients; Flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix with wooden spoon just until smooth.

Pour brownie mixture onto 1/2 baking sheet (lined with parchment paper and sprayed with a cooking spray for easy removal) smoothing out batter as much possible onto parchment covered baking sheet.

Bake brownies in a pre-heated 350* F. oven for 25 minutes or until done.

Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool and using an egg shape cookie cutter press out shape and cut them as desired for each turkey. (See below the pictures.)

Note: Milk Chocolate Frosting goes well with these brownies
