That means the center doesn't need to be completely done when you take them out. Use the toothpick, but instead of putting it in the middle, try putting it 2/3 of the way between the edge and the center. Diagram: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e197/ashroy01/browniediagram.jpg As long as that part is done, then the rest will be done in the minutes following when you take it out. That's about it. You can control the temperature/cooling of the brownies when they come out by doing different things. Putting them outdoors or placing them on something metal* will make them cool off faster, and stop cooking (*not your metal oven though, since it's probably hot). Placing them on towels to insulate the heat or rest them on the hot oven to keep them hot longer, and therefore continue to cook more. Use those tips to control the temperature afterwards to make up for any over or under-cooking. When you bake something it continues to cook even after you take it out of the oven.

Usually the ticker the brownies,the more moist they will be. It could also be the batter. Are you using the lower fat variety? Unfortunately they are not as tasty as the egg and oil version. And not many people know this but your brownies continue to cook even after you take them out of the oven, so you could be overcooking them. I would bake them in a smaller pan and take them out early, say 5 minutes after you start to smell them. Well I think that you might be using too big of a pan.

Once the brownie doesn't stick to the toothpick, get it out! Stop giving it "a few extra minutes"! Once the brownie doesn't stick to the toothpick, get it out!
