Oreo Brookies

Ingredients

For the cookie layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup chocolate chips

For the Oreo layer

12 Oreo cookies

For the brownie layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the topping

1/2 cup chocolate sauce or ganache

4 to 5 Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

Make the cookie layer: cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Mix in the egg and vanilla.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Place the 12 Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cookie dough.

Make the brownie layer: whisk together the melted butter and sugar.

Add the eggs and vanilla, then mix in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

Spread the brownie batter gently over the Oreo layer.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool completely in the pan.

Drizzle with chocolate sauce or ganache and sprinkle with crushed Oreos.

Slice into squares and serve.

Tips

Chill for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner layers.

Do not overbake, so the brookies stay fudgy.

Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
