  6. 6
    Bake the brownies for ⏱️ 33-35 minutes for the 9" pan, or ⏱️ 40-45 minutes for the 8" pan (a pan with a dark interior will bake the brownies more quickly). Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife in the center. Wriggle it around just enough to see what's going on. Is the batter under the crust still shiny, wet, and smooth? Continue to bake the brownies, checking frequently. Is it ultra-moist, but not shiny, and crumby looking? Take them out, they're done.
  7. 7
    Remove the brownies from the oven, and cool on a rack for ⏱️ 1 hour before cutting. Store on the counter, covered, for 5 days; or wrap well and freeze for up to 3 months.
