Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 Oreo cookies (double-stuffed)
  • 1 ¼ cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (63 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (33 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (2 sticks/226 g) unsalted butter, softened and melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing for effortless removal.
  2. Cookie Base Creation: Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy, then blend in egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  3. Dough Formation: Incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt into the mixture, gently folding in chocolate chips to distribute evenly across the dough.
  4. Layer Assembly: Spread cookie dough uniformly across the prepared pan, then arrange Oreo cookies in a single precise layer, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Brownie Batter Development: Whisk melted butter with sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder with minimal stirring to maintain dense texture.
  6. Baking Process: Pour brownie batter over the Oreo layer, ensuring complete coverage, and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted reveals moist crumbs.
  7. Cooling and Serving: Rest the dessert for 30 minutes, optionally chill in the refrigerator for cleaner cutting, then slice into squares and serve with optional vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle.

Notes

  • Manage Cookie Dough Consistency: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie layer texture, preventing overly greasy or dry results.
  • Control Baking Time Precisely: Check brownies at 35 minutes to avoid overcooking; moist crumbs indicate ideal doneness, preserving rich, fudgy interior.
  • Prevent Ingredient Separation: Mix wet and dry ingredients minimally to maintain dense, compact brownie structure and prevent tough, rubbery texture.
  • Customize for Dietary Needs: Substitute gluten-free flour, dairy-free butter alternatives, and vegan chocolate chips for adaptable, inclusive dessert option.
