Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 10 Tablespoons (141 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 4 oz (113 g) semisweet or dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • ½ cup (50 g) Dutch process cocoa powder

Brownie Batter

  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup (85 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (85 g) mini chocolate chips, optional

Oreos

  • 25 Oreo cookies, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9” baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chopped chocolate. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 20-second intervals until fully melted and combined.
  3. Add Cocoa Powder: Immediately stir the Dutch process cocoa powder into the melted chocolate and butter mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Whisk Sugar and Eggs: In a separate large bowl, vigorously whisk the granulated sugar and eggs using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture lightens in color and becomes fluffy.
  5. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixtures: Slowly drizzle the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Incorporate Flour and Salt: Sprinkle the flour and salt over the batter and stir until the mixture is uniform with no flour streaks.
  8. Optional Chocolate Chips: Fold in mini chocolate chips if using for extra chocolate texture and flavor.
  9. Layer Batter and Oreos: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange 20 Oreo cookies in even rows on top of this layer.
  10. Top with Remaining Batter: Spread the remaining brownie batter evenly over the Oreo cookie layer to cover them completely.
  11. Add Crumbled Oreos on Top: Break or crumble the remaining 5 Oreo cookies and gently press them into the top layer of brownie batter.
  12. Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with fudgy crumbs but no wet batter. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • Use a metal pan for baking; glass pans may require longer bake times.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate texture.
  • Ensure brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
  • For best results, do not overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
  • Using Dutch process cocoa powder enhances the chocolate flavor and contributes to a tender crumb.
