TWD: Rick Katz’s Brownies for Julia



And the chocolate continues! Tanya of Chocolatechic  chose Rick Katz’s Brownies for Julia as this week's TWD recipe.  These fudgy brownies were a hit. As dense as these look, they had a light melt in your mouth quality and fabulous chocolate flavor. 



A lot of bakers had trouble with the baking time and the center of the pan not setting up. Since this recipe was almost identical to my "go to" brownies recipe I used the  9x13 pan it suggests and the brownies were perfect, soft and fudgy,  without being underbaked. Some bakers also mentioned they were difficult to cut cleanly.  I find that with bar cookies and candies, if I score the surface of the pan when they are just out of the oven that they cut neatly when they are cooled.


If you want to enjoy these delicious brownies visit Tanya of Chocolatechic for the recipe.  To see what the other TWD bakers turned our visit our blog roll.

Oh! I so wish I had used my 9x13 pan. Not only would I have gotten more brownies, but they would look as wonderful as yours do.

Those brownies look outstanding - so rich and decadently delicious! Yum!

Leslie said...

Oh, do these ever look good! I like your idea of making them in a 9x13. More brownies, as Tanya said!

Lauryn said...

your brownies look amazing!! Great job! I think the 9x13 pan was the way to go (I did not go that way!)

Susan said...

Your brownies look delicious! Great photos too, as always! I found a pan similar to mine, with 9 openings instead of 12. Can't find mine anywhere on-line and of course, there is no brand name anywhere on it. :} Here's the link...http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodli.asp?DeptNo=2000&ClassNo=0203&TopSku=121644&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prontohome.com%2Fprodredirexitinterst.do%3Fexitpoint%3Ddisambiguated-search%26merchantproductid%3D1385432247%26pagelocation%3Dgridproductimage36%26parentid%3D7e0465e9-126b47509f0--df8

Mimi, I need to be your neighbor. Your brownies look fabulous. Have I told you lately how much I like your blog? I love it! I love to cook but baking is a leap for me. I really enjoy viewing and reading your recipes.

Cinnamon-Girl♥ said...

These look scrumptious Mimi! Your pictures are so life like. I feel like I could reach in and take one - or two!

vickys said...

Brownie craving overload! I love how your photos just show how gooey rich these brownies are. I'm so not a cakey-brownie fan.

Romaine said...

Scoring...yes, I must remember that. Great idea! Brownies are beautiful right down to the crumbs.

Susan said...

Me again. I left something for you on my latest post. :)

Katrina said...

My instinct told me to use my 9x13 pan, but I went with the 9x9 and think these were a little thick for my liking, but they were good. Yours look brownie-picture perfect.

grace said...

good call with the pan size, mimi! these brownies look as good as they should--gooey and dense and delightful.

Flourchild said...

I can never get enough chewy gooey chocolately brownies. These are tempting me right now! Great photos too, Mimi! Roz

tasteofbeirut said...

I have tried every brownie recipe under the sun. I think yours is a really good one because whipping the eggs is the key in my humble opinion to good fudgy ones!

Kathleen said...

I love brownies! Yum! Can't wait to try this version!!!

margot said...

Your brownies look amazing, it looks like the 9x13 pan was the way to go. I only made a quarter of a recipe and wish I had more.

Michelle said...

WOW..your brownies looks so good and chewy too. Wonderful photos!

Celestial Charms said...

Mimi,
Just wanted to say thanks so much for always visiting my blog. Love your comments. Yes, I am so lucky to have so many every day type photos from childhood. My Dad was the family photographer...I'll probably get a post in about that with my "Fridays with Father." He had a bunch of cameras, and being a ham, I loved to have my photo taken. I cherish each one, and love to blog about them.

Ingrid said...

Holy moly! I want a pan of those and I don't even like chocolate. I'm thinking a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
