Introduction

Oreo Brookies are the perfect combination of fudgy brownies, soft chocolate chip cookies, and crunchy Oreo cookies all in one delightful treat. This easy-to-make dessert is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth and impress your friends and family.

Ingredients

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

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.
Step 2: Prepare the brownie layer. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring just until combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 3: Prepare the cookie layer. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
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.
Step 5: Bake the brookies for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 6: Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey brookies, slightly underbake them by a couple of minutes.
Try using different types of Oreos, like double stuffed or mint, for unique flavor twists.
Chill the cookie dough before spreading to make it easier to handle.
You can add chopped nuts to either layer for added texture.

Storage

Store the brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or let them come to room temperature before serving.

FAQs

Can I use different cookies instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other sandwich cookies or even chopped chocolate bars for a different twist in texture and flavor.

How do I know when the brookies are done baking?

The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Overbaking will make them dry.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brookies.
Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Then, sift in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it in an even layer.
Prepare the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Assemble the Brookies: Spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Press the halved Oreo cookies into the top of the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The edges will be set and slightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove the brookies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve for a delicious, chocolatey treat.

Notes

For easier removal, line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
Make sure not to overmix the brownie and cookie batters to keep the brookies tender.
You can substitute Oreos with any other sandwich cookies of your choice for variety.
Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Reheat slightly before serving to restore softness and gooey texture.
