Make rich, fudgy brownies loaded with Oreo cookies and topped with a perfect crackly crust. This easy recipe delivers decadent cookies and cream bars.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus 6 whole cookies for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until completely smooth.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the 1 cup of roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Arrange the 6 whole Oreo cookies on top of the batter.
  9. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For the fudgiest texture, avoid overbaking. The center should still look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, these brownies pair well with a simple meal planning approach for the rest of the week.
  • For an extra rich flavor, substitute Dutch-process cocoa powder for regular cocoa powder.
