Note
A perfectly regular plural: the singular already ends in -ie, so it simply adds -s, with no y to change into ies. One form covers every kind of brownie, from squares of chocolate cake and the helpful elves of folklore to old copper coins and lycaenid butterflies. The Australian and New Zealand sweet bread with currants is uncountable, so like bread it is usually spoken of as brownie, not brownies.
