In Search of the Perfect Gooey Chewy Brownie

There are two kinds of brownies which are cakey or fudgy which is also know as chewy.

Then, there is the gooey kind that oozes with goodness. As I go forth and search for the perfect gooey brownie, there have been a few batches made that are fails. Edible but not lovable, the first one that I made was a hit as what I did was adjust the baking time by lessening it.

This first method of reducing the baking time works. The way to do this with any ordinary brownie recipe is to bake it and check for doneness with a toothpick. Insert the toothpick at the edge and that can come out clean or with a few crumbs - and the middle part should still be rather wet so the toothpick won't come out clean.

The next method I read about was to add an extra egg. A brownie recipe typically has two eggs so you must make it 3. This was done is a Martha Stewart brownie recipe and she also used a recipe with less flour which is another method that I read about. I love Martha but I haven't tried this recipe yet as what I am looking for is a brownie that is oozing with goodness from the middle, with that decadent chocolate spilling out when sliced.

I did find a recipe that had condensed milk in the brownie and that looked absolutely wonderful yet it was topped with a whole load of chocolate chips that seems overwhelmingly sweet and that is not what I yearned for nor what is a must for me to sell as I don't want to make ordinary brownies as I desire awesome ones. yet for now, the first method which is to reduce the baking time does yield chewy, delicious brownies that are adored by everyone.
