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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
