Quick Brownies

	2 cups sugar
	1  3/4 cups all-purpose flour
	1/2 cup baking cocoa
	1 tsp. salt
	5 eggs
	1 cup vegetable oil
	1 tsp. vanilla
	1 cup (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
	Pecans or walnuts (optional) In a bowl, combine first seven ingredients. Beat until smooth.  (Add nuts, if desired) Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. This is a very quick and easy recipe for brownies! I've made them with and without nuts and they're delicious either way These are great warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top
