In reply to LuAnn. Hi LuAnn! We'd recommend making 1.5x the recipe for that size pan. Doubling might be too much :)

This was a hit! Much fancier than regular brownies and not a crumb was left at the Christmas party. Definitely will be using this again!

In reply to Binte Yaqoob. This recipe is definitely going to be on the sweeter side. That's just going to be the nature of making something with a cookie dough layer. :(

Hi Sam!
I’ve been really interested in your recipes, they seem so simple and delicious. I’ve been wanting to try some of your recipes!
But I have one question regarding this recipe….
Last time I made these using another recipe and the cookie dough turned out too sweet and had a weird taste to it. I told myself to never make these again! Will your recipe be fine (as in not toooo sweet)?

In reply to Brenda. Hi Brenda! I'm so sorry! You'll want to use 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee. :)

In reply to Sugar Spun Run. The note says the instant coffee is optional and adds to flavour but it is not listed in the ingredient list...how much do you use?

In reply to Cami. Hi Cami! It will probably be just a few minutes longer.

How long would I bake if I used an 8×8 foil pan?

In reply to Cami. Hi Cami! You can make the recipe as is in a 9x13, but just note the brownies will be thinner. The bake time will be less too, so keep an eye on it

What would the measurements and bake time be if I used a 9×13 pan? i don’t know how to add 1.5 more to each ingredient. Can you list them out please?

In reply to Marcy. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Marcy! Thank you for trying and trusting my recipes, I appreciate it very much <3

Made the recipe—it came out right, but I think it was too extreme a combination for me, so I didn’t care for it as much as Sam’s other recipes (personal preference). However, my colleagues who did have it LOVED it. Thank you for sharing your recipes and being so supportive 🙂

In reply to Marcy. No. You would need to do 1.5 times all of the ingredients. :)

In reply to Sam. Is that the same as doubling it?

In reply to Nadine. Hi Nadine! I actually have a post on how to make your own brown sugar. I'm not sure how the coconut sugar will change the flavor here. :)

Hi, thank you for this wonderful recipe 🙂
I live in Switzerland and we don’t find light brown sugar here in normal supermarkets (unless I order it online, but then it would be too costly) and I was wondering if I could use coconut sugar instead? And would it be the same amount then?

Thanks a lot!
Nadine

In reply to Marcy. Hi Marcy! You could make the recipe as is in a 13 x 9 but the brownies will be much thinner. You could increase the recipe by 50% to get the same thickness. The bake time will change though. :)

This looks amazing—is there a way to make this using a 9×13 pan?

By: Sam

In reply to Amanda. Hi Amanda! Start with 1 Tablespoon, then if it seems a bit too stiff still you can add the remaining Tablespoon if needed. I hope that helps! :)

Hi Sam! If I don’t have heavy cream how much milk can I use to substitute?
