My 10 yr old's first attempt at baking,and she chose this recipe.They turned out fabulous!Fast and easy to make,with delicious flavor.Tasted like a toll house cookie only softer,more cakelike.Will make this one over and over again.Yummy!!! -
I think the phrase "packed brown sugar" may be misleading. I followed the recipe to the T and packed the sugar. The center of the brownies were not fully cooked and it was nearly like biting into brown sugar. I tried them again, using un-packed sugar and they cooked throughout. I used white chocolate chips in the first batch which were much better than the chocolate chips I used in the second batch. I served the brownies topped with a sauce made from caramel, butter and evaporated milk (heated in a saucepan) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was very tasty. I will make this one again with less brown sugar and white chocolate chips. Thank you for posting this one. -
My oven temp needs to be adjusted down, usually 25 degrees is fine, so I baked these at 325 for 35 minutes...they were way overdone, very disappointing! -
Tasty! I used half cake flour but I think that didn’t have a positive effect on the texture. Mine were maybe more than done at 32 minutes. Topped with a fudge sauce and people liked them in a big crowd!

Very easy and very good! Nice for those times when a 13 x 9 just won't quite be enough. I omitted the nuts and used 3 cups choc chips.

These are really good. I added a tablespoon of vanilla and reduced the brown sugar to two cups. "Packing" brown sugar doesn't work for me. I just fill the measuring cup to the proper amount and level it with a knife. I do tap the cup gently to make sure there aren't any air pockets. Also tried subing 2 cups crushed butterfinger bars for the chips--makes a nice change with pecans instead of walnuts.

This is very good. I did find it very sweet though, maybe a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I won't use as much sugar. I used sultanas instead of walnuts as I have young children. Thanks for posting.
