Brownies will proceed baking and set within the scorching pan out of the oven. If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick ought to come out soiled for fudge-textured brownies.
After 15-20 minutes, rigorously take away them out of the pan and permit to chill to room temperature earlier than slicing into 16 brownies. They set whereas they cool.
ENJOY!

Crushed walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pecans, and so on. Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, shredded coconut, dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, and so on)
STORING:
Retailer at room temperature for 3 days, or fridge for as much as 5 days. These brownies may also be frozen for as much as 3 months. Thaw in a single day the fridge and convey to room temperature earlier than serving OR reheat within the microwave.
NOTES
*For thicker brownies, bake in a 7×11-inch pan for 40-45 minutes. For thinner brownies, bake in a 9×13-inch pan for 18-20 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: An 8×12-inch pan bakes essentially the most excellent brownies — thickness and texture.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
Do NOT over beat your batter as soon as the flour and cocoa powder are added. That creates air pockets within the batter which gives you cake-like textured brownies.
Please attempt to not over bake them. Set a timer should you want too. I like mine at precisely 23 minutes in an 8×12-inch pan. You possibly can go a bit bit over should you like them set a bit extra, however I don’t suggest it should you’re in search of the fudgiest brownies on the earth. Bear in mind, they’ll proceed to bake barely within the scorching pan as soon as pulled out of the oven,
I bake my brownies on the highest shelf within the oven. I discover the center shelf cooks them so much quicker, barely burns them on the highest and dries them out.
