I feel that I am somewhat of an expert on the subject of brownies. I have been making them for about 50 years! I tend to enjoy more of the 'cakey' variety of brownies so I was a bit concerned when I read that this recipe was 'chewy' and if I liked 'cakey' brownies to just move on. Well I couldn't move on, this was the recipe and I trust Julia so I approached this recipe with an open mind.
Now for the taste, absolutely delicious. The brownies were perfect--chewy but not gooey. I think I just might have a new favorite brownie recipe. Thanks Julia once again you have broadened my brownie horizons.

I think pecans would be perfect on these.
Yours came out looking really, really yummy! I'm glad you liked them even though they aren't cakey.
Your brownies are stunning!! Mmm!
I was also unsure about this recipe, but it blew me away. It's so nice when that happens.
Brownie success :-)
Every self respecting brownie deserves pecans... Just sayin'
I thought these were good as well. I like the addition of pecans.
Cindy, your Bset-Ever Brownies look so dark and chocolaty and delicious and I do love pecans in my brownies too but they are somewhat hard to find around here!
I prefer cakey brownies too. I liked the flavour of these ones, but still found them too gooey. Great idea to add nuts. That definitely takes them up a notch!
I loved cracked tops on brownies. The flavour was good but a bit too gooey for me.
I really like the way yours cracked on top! It has the promise of a bit of a crunch to go with that inner chewiness. Nice job!
Love those crackly tops, Cindy! So glad you found your 'best-ever' recipe! :)
Your photos are gorgeous! Brownies are so hard to photograph, but you did a great job! Weren't these fantastic?
I'm a chewy brownie person, so I'll definitely want to try these!
These were good, weren't they? I was going to suggest chilling the brownies, but I see you did that! I also use a hot knife...maybe that would have helped. Have a great Thanksgiving, Cindy!!! xo
You ARE a brownie expert! I have been alive for 56 years but not making brownies quite that long! ha! ha! Great job! Happy TG, Blessings, Catherine www.praycookblog.com
Craggy topped brownies are great! That comes from whipping the eggs. Seems like they are better the next day here.
Your brownies look great!
After reading the recipe, we definitely expected our brownies to turn out much more like yours - fudgey with a slightly cracked top, instead of more cake-like. However, nobody here is complaining. We loved them. Nice post.
I think the cracked top is great!It will make for a nice texture contrast to the chewy middle. Glad these turned out for you!
I love your brownies! Cracked crusts and all!
Mine were the same, didn't look the best in photos but my goodness they were delicious!
Wow! The tops of yours really did get a candy crust. They look scrumptions!!
These were good weren't they. They are my go to now. I like the cracked top!
Looks like another brownie I need to try! I absolutely love the crackly tops. I wish I had one of these babies right about now!
they look PERFECT!
Your brownies look good enough to lure me back into Baking with Julia!
