Brownies are delicious. So is cinnamon. And raspberries. All three in combination make a super yummy, mouth-watering, gotta-have-it-now treat.

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) salted sweet cream butter, melted
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon raspberry extract
Powdered sugar (optional)
Whole raspberries (optional)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the flour and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, vanilla and raspberry extract until fluffy. Set aside.

In small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and melted butter. Slowly pour chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking. Stir in the flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until done in center. Remove from oven and let cool. Top with raspberries and powdered sugar if desired.

Yields 9 brownies.
