  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined, then stop.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry. Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
