Ultimate Oreo Cookie Brownies
Layers of chocolate chip cookie dough, whole Oreo cookies, and rich, fudgy brownie batter come together in one irresistible dessert!
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Large Bowls
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
Cookie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 24 Oreo cookies (any flavor!)
Brownie Layer
- 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly spray the lining with cooking spray.
- Mix the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter with both the granulated and light brown sugars until well combined. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Form the Cookie Base: Press this cookie dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan to create a solid layer.
- Add the Oreo Layer: Arrange the 24 Oreo cookies in a single, neat layer directly over the cookie dough base.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a separate large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the coarsely chopped baking chocolate and 3/4 cup of butter. Microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Stir in the 1 3/4 cups of granulated sugar. Beat in the 3 eggs, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Gently stir in the 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just blended – be careful not to overmix!
- Layer the Brownies: Carefully spread the brownie batter evenly over the layer of Oreos in the pan, ensuring all cookies are covered.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 30-40 minutes. The brownies are done when the top looks set and no longer wet, and a toothpick inserted about 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs attached (the very center might still be a little soft, which is perfect for fudginess!).
- Cool & Slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is important for clean slices! Once cooled, use the foil or parchment paper overhang to lift the entire creation out of the pan. Slice into 24 delicious bars and enjoy!
