Notes



These can easily be made non-gluten free, just omit the xanthan gum and replace the starches and flours with all purpose flour. Just combine the cup amounts not the weights since the gluten free ingredients all have different weights.
You can also add in peppermint extract and candy cane pieces to make them peppermint.
I slightly underbaked them to keep them more chewy and brownie like
