Gluten free slutty brownies

Since I'm slowly moving into the gluten free world, I get excited when something comes out delicious. One thing that didn't come out good ..... Gluten free French bread. They didn't rise, they barely browned, and they were dense. So back to square one for those. 

Yes, this is them fully cooked.

The other night Bradley wanted brownies....and chocolate chip cookies .....rolled together. Ha! Talk about having a sweet tooth! I only had gluten free flour in the house so I figured what the heck, I'll try a homemade brownie recipe. I don't always have good luck with brownies. Sometimes they're too fudgey, too cakey, they never turn out like the box mix. I figured if I couldn't get that beautiful flaky top with regular flour, there was no way I was going to get it with gluten free. 

I scoured the internet and came across the recipe for gluten free slutty brownies. Wonder why they're called slutty? It's because of the menaje a trois of flavor....chocolate chip cookie meets Oreo cookie meets brownie. What could be wrong with that?! My best friend sherry originally introduced me to this cookie...it's one of those that is completely addicting! 

I didn't have any Oreos but I know Walmart has gluten free ones that are less than $4 per pack. Can't tell you if they're any good or not. I'll have to try them sometime.
