Etymology
The term 'brownie' dates back to the late 19th century in the United States, with the earliest known recipe appearing in a cookbook published in 1904. Originally, brownies were considered a type of chocolate cake, but over time they evolved into the denser form we know today. The name likely comes from the rich, brown color of the dessert. Some accounts suggest that the dessert was created at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, where a chef made chocolate cakes that could be easily served to women at a picnic. This innovation led to the concept of the brownie, which then gained widespread popularity across America and eventually inspired countless variations.
