BROWNIES

Brownies are basically bar cookies, usually chocolate.

The first printed Brownie Recipe: The 1896 edition of the 'Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking-School Cook Book' contains a recipe for "Brownies" - but they are molasses flavored, not chocolate.

The first printed Chocolate Brownie Recipe: In the 1905 revision of the same book there is a recipe for a Chocolate Brownie.

Brownies are dense squares of chewy chocolate cake, usually containing nuts.
