Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus a few extra for topping)
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (85 g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Instructions
- Pan Preparation: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for effortless brownie removal.
- Wet Ingredient Fusion: Whisk melted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated, creating a smooth, glossy base for the brownie mixture.
- Egg Integration: Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency with no visible egg streaks.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Gently sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet mixture, folding carefully to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender brownie texture.
- Cookie and Chocolate Enhancement: Delicately fold chopped Oreo cookies and chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Baking Preparation: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula and artfully arranging additional Oreo pieces on top for visual appeal and extra crunch.
- Oven Transformation: Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, watching for a set edge and slightly moist center – the toothpick test will reveal a few clinging crumbs.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan, then slice into perfect squares, revealing the rich, fudgy interior studded with Oreo chunks.
Notes
- Stir dry ingredients just until combined to maintain a soft, fudgy texture and avoid tough brownies.
- Reserve some cookie pieces to press on top for a visually appealing and crunchy surface.
- Watch brownies closely around 25-minute mark to prevent overcooking; moist crumbs indicate perfect doneness.
- Swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or vegan cookie alternatives for different dietary needs without compromising rich chocolate flavor.
