Make rich, fudgy Oreo brownies from scratch that feature a chewy texture and a desirable shiny, crackly top. This easy recipe incorporates whole and crushed Oreo cookies for a decadent cookies and cream experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 whole Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture lightens slightly in color. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips and the roughly chopped whole Oreo cookies.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the optional Oreo cookie crumbs over the top.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs attached, but the center should still look slightly underdone for fudginess.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For the best shiny, crackly top, make sure your sugar is fully dissolved into the warm butter and eggs before adding the dry ingredients. Whisk vigorously for about 60 seconds after adding the eggs.
  • Do not overbake if you want a fudgy texture; underbaking slightly is key.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
