Notes
For the best texture, don’t overmix the batter, and be sure to remove them from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If you like extra richness, melt some chocolate and fold it into the batter. Let them cool in the pan before slicing to allow the fudgy center to set. For added crunch, try mixing in walnuts or pecans!
