As soon as you can, using the sticking-up parchment paper, lift the brownies out onto a cooling rack. When cool, transfer to a cutting board and cut carefully into squares. I like my brownies small, but any size you like is okay. Also, I always trim off the outside edges before cutting the brownies so that they are all uniform. My family really enjoys munching on the edge bits I cut off.

About
This recipe was made for the Fourth of July this year to be organic because I have cancer and i'm being as careful as I can about what I eat. But my nutritionist put chocolate and walnuts on the list of foods I can eat (in moderation), so brownies seemed like an excellent idea for the Fourth of July. But I'm not to eat hardly any sugar, so cutting the brownies into 1 inch squares seemed like a good idea. I found organic chocolate chips at New Seasons grocery store.
