Preparation

Chef’s notes

Test for doneness before removing the brownies from the oven. If underbaked, the texture will be dense and gummy; if overbaked, they will be dry and cakey.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for longer storage.
