I made my usual substitutes for the flour... 2 part Brown or white rice flour, then 1 part tapioca flour, 1 part potato starch and some added xanthan gum. I also used semi- sweet chips for the cookies.. as it was what I had on hand. I only baked this for 55 minutes, and honestly I think it could have used an additional 15 more. It seemed to be TOO gooey, and undercooked. I can't believe I am about to say this... but this sweet was TOO rich for my taste. GASP!! (I know, try to not fall over.) It was good, but I think I like cookies and brownies separate and not together. However, it was certainly fun to give it a go & I am, of course, looking forward to trying more Dorie recipes in June! :)

I thought the same thing when I read the recipe. My heart hurt a bit when I took the sticks of butter out of the freezer. Yikes. But so tasty.
LOL LOL I know what'cha mean... that was almost a whole pound of butter! WOW!
Nevertheless... yours came out perfect, with a very nice cookie crust on top! Bravo Banjo!
Hm... I might try the flour substitue - it sounds very interesting! You can't tell the difference - they look fantastic! Ah... 2 sticks... who'll notice? :) Nicely done!
They look good! I love your "heart attack in a pan" comment. Maybe it's not so bad that I skipped this week.
Funny post! Your 'heart attack in a pan' looks tasty!
I'm curious, why do you use the flour substitutions?
I use alternative flours because I have Celiacs Disease, and am unable to eat any products containing gluten. It is a bit of a hassle, but has been fun learning different methods of baking!
It only tasted rich because you forgot the whipped cream! Glad you tried it.
hi carolyn!
yes, this was a rich one :)
did your brownie layer taste gritty? what a funny word..gritty.

Too bad it wasn't your thing, they look great.
You're right, this one had a TON of butter in it. It was definitely sinful having them around and I had to get rid of them. Nice job, though! Yours look tasty.
I thought this one was a bit rich, too. I think yours look great. Now we all need to hit the gym!
too rich??!!!too bad. looks pretty good though
Haha I agree, I'd rather the two be separate! But they look great!
Yes!!! VERY RICH!!! But good. One little bite is all it takes. Like you, chocolate brownie, and then the cookie.
But your's looks great.
I know what you mean - these were an artery buster, which required much sharing to spread the calories.
Rich indeed! Yours look delicious!
I loved these, but definitely they need to be in moderation - I gave most of them away!
