Oreo Brookies Recipe

Introduction

Oreo Brookies combine the best of both worlds: rich, fudgy brownies topped with soft, chocolate chip cookies and crunchy Oreo cookies. This indulgent treat is perfect for anyone who loves a burst of chocolate and texture in every bite.

Ingredients

• Brownie Layer:
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Cookie Layer:
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 12 Oreo cookies (halved)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well, then stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Step 4: Spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly. Press the halved Oreo cookies into the top of the cookie dough gently.
5. Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Step 6: Let the brookies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor in both layers.
• Press the Oreo cookies gently so they don’t sink too much into the cookie dough.
• For extra gooey brookies, slightly underbake by checking at 28 minutes.
• Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the cookie layer for added crunch.

Storage

Store the brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave to enjoy them warm and gooey.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought brownie mix instead of making from scratch?

Yes, a store-bought brownie mix can be used for convenience. Prepare according to package instructions and then proceed with the cookie layer and Oreo topping as directed.

Do I have to use Oreos or can I substitute another cookie?

You can substitute Oreos with any sandwich cookie or your favorite cookie variety for a different twist. Just make sure they hold up well to baking and layering.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Brownie Layer:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cookie Layer:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 12 Oreo cookies (halved)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brookies after baking.
2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Add granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing thoroughly. Incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, and salt by stirring until just combined. Pour this batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
3. Prepare the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly.
4. Assemble the Brookies: Spoon the prepared cookie dough over the brownie batter layer in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Press the halved Oreo cookies gently into the top of the cookie dough layer to ensure they adhere and bake into the brookies.
5. Bake: Place the assembled brookies in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The edges should be set and slightly firm.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to firm up, making removal easier. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy these rich, indulgent treats!

Notes

• For easy removal, line your baking pan with parchment paper and leave some overhang for lifting the brookies out after baking.
• Ensure the butter and chocolate for the brownie layer are fully melted and smooth to create a fudgy texture.
• Do not overmix either the brownie or cookie dough to avoid tough brookies.
• Use fresh Oreo cookies for the best texture and flavor contrast when baked into the cookie layer.
• Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to one week.
