The all time favorite bar cookies are brownies and not just any brownie recipe. There are three types of brownies which is determined on the baking time.
1. Fudgy Brownies– Bake only until a wooden toothpick inserted about one inch from side of pan comes out with a moist crumb. The center of the brownie will often seem unbaked but it will be firm upon cooling.
2. Extra Fudgy – Cool the brownie for only 15 minutes then cover it with aluminum foil and refrigerate.
3. Chewy brownie– Bake until wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Whatever your preference on the texture of the brownies now depends on your baking time.
