Chocolate Mixture
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 ½ cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Sugars and Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup White Sugar
- ½ cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder
Add-ins
- 2 cups Oreos, roughly crushed
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup white sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon salt to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and slightly fluffy, then gradually whisk in the melted chocolate and butter mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in ½ cup all-purpose flour and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until the batter is smooth and without lumps.
- Add Oreos: Fold in 2 cups of roughly crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8”x8” (20cm x 20cm) baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Pour and Top: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle additional chocolate chips and crushed Oreos evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: remove when it comes out with a few moist crumbs for fudgy brownies or clean for cakier texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool in the baking dish for at least 20 minutes before lifting them out with the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing.
- Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy texture.
- You can freeze leftover brownies wrapped tightly for up to a month.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Adding extra Oreo cookies on top before baking gives a crunchy topping.
