Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 ½ cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Sugars
- ½ cup White Sugar
- ½ cup Brown Sugar (packed)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
Add-Ins
- 2 cups Oreo Cookies, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Add 1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of white sugar and ½ cup of packed brown sugar. Whisk together until they are thoroughly blended for consistent sweetness throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: To the sugar mixture, add 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and slightly fluffy, ensuring the eggs and sugars are fully integrated. Then, slowly add in the cooled chocolate butter mixture, stirring until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift ½ cup of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Add Oreos: Fold in 2 cups of chopped Oreo cookies evenly throughout the batter, integrating their crunchy texture into the fudgy base.
- Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting. This helps them set for clean slices. Enjoy your rich, fudgy Oreo brownies!
Notes
- Be sure to cool the melted chocolate and butter mixture slightly before adding to eggs to prevent scrambling.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake by a minute or two, but ensure it is cooked through.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
- Chopping Oreos roughly adds texture and bursts of flavor without overwhelming the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
