Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 package Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or line with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Add granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly lighter in color.
- Crack the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, beating thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Sift cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt together in a separate bowl to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add vanilla extract and mix gently. Fold in chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Layer half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, creating an even base.
- Arrange a single layer of Oreo cookies across the entire surface of the batter, covering completely.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Oreo layer, ensuring full coverage and sealing the cookies.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra richness if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe between each slice. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
Tips
- Prep Your Pan: Make sure to grease your baking pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cake once baked.
- Melt Butter Carefully: When melting the butter, allow it to cool slightly before adding the eggs. This prevents scrambling and keeps your batter smooth.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix gently. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture, so stop as soon as you see no dry flour.
- Layering is Key: For the best flavor, ensure that the Oreo cookies are evenly spaced and fully covered by the brownie batter. This creates that delightful surprise in every bite!
- Check for Doneness: Since ovens can vary, start checking your brownies at the 45-minute mark. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs for the perfect fudgy texture.
- Cool Before Cutting: Allow the brownie cake to cool completely in the pan. This helps it set and makes cutting into neat squares much easier.
- Serve Warm or Room Temperature: This dessert is delicious either way! For an extra treat, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
