Instructions
Cookie Dough Layers

  2. Add water and half of gluten free flour. Mix well. Gradually add remaining flour, scraping down bowl and while mixing. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide dough in half.

Brownie Layers
  1. Combine brownie mix with oil and water. Mix well, scraping down bowl.
  2. Divide batter in half. Pour into 2- 9 inch round pans (same ones used for the cookie dough layer) with the bottom lined with parchment paper. Batter layers will be thin. Spread evenly to the sides.
  3. Bake at 350 for approximately 16-19 minutes or until center is dry and tooth pick comes out clean.
  4. Allow to fully cool in the pans on a wire rack before removing for assembly.
Assembly
  1. Remove parchment paper and plastic wrap from layers prior to assembly. Place one brownie layer on the bottom of one pan, stack a cookie dough layer, brownie and last cookie dough layer.
  2. Melt half of chocolate chips with the shortening in the microwave. Add remaining chocolate chips and mix until melted and smooth. Pour over top of cake and quickly spread to cover top and drip down sides.
  3. Best served at room temperature.
Notes
I promise this cake is awesome! You'll need time to let the cookie dough layers set in the pans before you can use the same pans for baking the brownie. Feel free to make cookie dough layers ahead of time and assemble the day you need it. Since there is no egg in this recipe, rest assured you can safely eat the cookie dough raw. Assembly is easiest when the layers are completely cooled (less chance of mess too!) Cover any extra cake with plastic wrap to avoid drying out and keep refrigerated when not consuming.
