There is a difference between a u0022fudgyu0022 brownies and one that is underbaked (aka gooey). Because there are eggs in these brownies, it's important to make sure they are cooked all the way through. When you think they are done baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie pan. If it comes out clean, they're done. If there is a bit of batter on the toothpick (not to be confused with melted chocolate chips), they need a few more minutes in the oven.
