Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (168 grams), softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk (discard the white)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (188 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cups chocolate chips (120 grams)
Oreo Layer
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams), cubed
- 6 oz dark chocolate (170 grams) (50-70% cocoa or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (63 grams)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (23 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the slutty brownies.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Greasing the pan first helps the parchment paper stick securely.
- Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fully combined and creamy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in one whole egg, the additional egg yolk (discard the second egg’s white), and vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: With your mixer on low, gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture. Once combined, turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon for even distribution.
- Form Cookie Layer: Spread this cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan using a spatula, smoothing out the surface.
- Add Oreo Layer: Arrange the 28 Oreo cookies on top of the cookie dough layer, pressing them down slightly to ensure they stick. Arrange in 7 rows of 4 cookies, filling gaps with half cookies for complete coverage.
- Prepare Brownie Batter – Melt Chocolate and Butter: Finely chop the dark chocolate. Place it along with the cubed butter into a heatproof bowl. Microwave on medium power in 45-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Avoid high power to prevent grainy or burnt chocolate.
- Cool Chocolate Mixture and Add Eggs and Sugar: Let the melted chocolate mixture cool for about 5 minutes, then whisk in the two large eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients for Brownie Batter: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps. Whisk these dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Layer Brownie Batter: Spoon the brownie batter over the Oreo cookies in small dollops. Spread the batter evenly across the pan with a spatula, gently covering the Oreos without disturbing them.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 37-45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out dry or with a few moist crumbs depending on your preferred fudginess.
- Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool fully, at least 4 hours, for the layers to set properly.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Using parchment paper with an overhang makes it easier to lift the brownies from the pan without breaking them.
- When melting chocolate and butter, always microwave on medium power in intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Sifting the flour and cocoa powder prevents lumps and ensures a smooth batter.
- Allowing the brownies to cool fully before slicing helps the layers to set and prevents them from falling apart.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven and desired moistness; less time for gooier brownies, more for firmer ones.
