Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 3/4 cup (168 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (105 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk (extra white discarded)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (120 grams) chocolate chips
Oreo Cookie Layer
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup (112 grams) unsalted butter, cubed
- 6 oz (170 grams) dark chocolate, 50-70% cocoa or semi-sweet
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (23 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the Slutty Brownies.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Greasing helps the paper stick properly.
- Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until well combined and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg, additional egg yolk, and vanilla extract, ensuring not to add the second whole egg but only the yolk.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to distribute evenly.
- Spread Cookie Dough: Spoon the cookie dough mixture into the prepared pan and spread it smooth with a spatula creating an even base layer.
- Add Oreo Layer: Place the Oreo cookies evenly on top of the cookie dough layer, gently pressing them down slightly to adhere. Arrange about 7 rows of 4 cookies plus a few halves to fully cover.
- Prepare Brownie Batter – Melt Chocolate & Butter: Finely chop the dark chocolate, then place it with cubed butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave on medium power in 45-second intervals, stirring between each to melt smoothly without burning.
- Cool and Add Eggs & Sugar: Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool for about 5 minutes before whisking in the 2 large eggs and granulated sugar until combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Brownie Batter: Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then whisk them into the chocolate mixture until just combined to avoid lumps.
- Spread Brownie Batter Over Oreos: Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter evenly across the Oreo layer and gently spread smooth using the back of a spoon or spatula to cover fully.
- Bake Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 37-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry or with a few moist crumbs, depending on your preferred gooeyness.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool fully in the pan for at least 4 hours to set properly before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares.
- Storage: Store any leftover brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Using parchment paper with overhang makes removing the brownies easier after baking.
- Do not microwave chocolate on high power to avoid graininess or burning; medium heat in intervals is best.
- If the flour and cocoa powder are lumpy, sift them to ensure a smooth batter.
- Cooling the brownies completely improves slicing and texture.
- You can adjust baking time slightly based on your oven and preferred brownie texture.
