"This recipe goes way back like 1898 when the brownie was first recorded at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. Don't rely on the traditional stick test for doneness in this recipe; the brownies will stay moist even after baking. For easier cutting place glazed brownies in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours." — Smart Cookie
