I Made Rosie's Brownies!

[NewGFMom]

For those of you who live in Greater Boston, you may be familiar with Rosie's Bakery. They have the best brownies in the world. I own Rosie's cookbook and used to make them all the time before my son's diagnosis.

I had been dreading trying this recipe out with my new gluten free techniques. I was really afraid of producing a dud. I LOVE the original so much that I just figured I'd sneak out and eat them when I needed them. *I* can have gluten, I just don't ever cook with at at home for fear of cross contaminating something my son might eat/put in his mouth. He's four, and he still puts stuff in his mouth. What are you going to do?

I finally made them with very few changes and they taste almost exactly like the ones I made before from the Rosie's cookbook. I think the success of this recipe is largely due to the mixing technique. You can use cheap Bakers chocolate, in fact she recommends it in the book.

Thanks for the recipe!!! Those sound delicious. I just saved it to my computer. I am currently working on compiling recipes into a book rather than having loose pieces of paper roaming around. That will make a great addition!!
