Super fudgy homemade brownies loaded with chunks of Oreo cookies for the ultimate cookies & cream dessert.
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (6 for batter, 6 for topping)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and half the chocolate together. Stir until smooth.
Whisk in sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix until thick and glossy.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold gently to combine.
Stir in remaining chocolate and half the chopped Oreos.
Pour into pan and smooth top. Press remaining Oreos into the surface.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing.
For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake.
Add white chocolate chips or peanut butter for variation.
Store at room temperature or freeze for later.
Use different Oreo flavors for seasonal twists.
