Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in half of the crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips into the brownie batter, reserving the remaining cookies for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreo cookies on top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares. Serve and enjoy your Cookies n Cream Oreo Brownies!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even mixing
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep brownies tender
- For extra decadence, slightly underbake the brownies to maintain a gooey center
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to get clean, neat squares
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted chocolate or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving
