Brownies are a type of cake that is made of brown sugar, cocoa powder or chocolate, butter, eggs, vanilla extract and flour.

There are many variations of brownies. Some versions use ingredients like nuts or fruit, while others contain more butter or less sugar. Brownies can be baked in a variety of shapes including bars and sheets.

The brownie has two possible origins in the United States: One theory is that the dessert was created when somebody forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake batter; another is that the dessert was invented by the chef at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, who wanted to create a dessert similar to American cookies with gooey centers popular in Europe at the time.
