Satan's Snack Squares

I was feeling like baking something. That means "brownies" to me. This is an attempt to have simple brownies, which means "nothing needs melting" that are scandalously rich.

Ingredients and Hardware
"Wet" Ingredients
Brown Sugar½ cup
White Sugar½ cup
Vegetable Oil*½ cup
Rye Whiskey1 tablespoon
Eggs2
Dry Ingredients
Flour½ cup
Cocoa Powder⅓ cup
Baking Powder¼ teaspoon
Salt¼ teaspoon
Hardware
Baking pan9x9 square or 11x7 rectangular
ShorteningFor greasing pan
Mixing bowls2
Measuring implementsAs needed
Spoon1
Whisk1
Ovenof course
*Can be corn, soybean, canola, etc.
Or bourbon, or substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease pan. Mix sugars and oil in one bowl. Beat in eggs and whiskey. In other bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. Gradually mix dry into wet (by hand). Transfer to baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes. Shorter baking times make more chewy brownies. Longer times make dryer brownies. Allow to cool in a pan for about 5-10 minutes before cutting. You will probably have to remove brownies with a spatula or flipper after cutting. They will not be stiff, especially if they are still warm.
