  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make your brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and will prevent them from falling apart.
