Make these made-from-scratch Oreo brownies for a rich, dense, and chewy chocolate dessert. This recipe delivers a gorgeous, shiny, crackly crust and is packed with whole and crushed Oreos for the best Cookies and Cream Brownies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped or left whole

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the 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 combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. This mixing step helps create the crackly top.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and most of the chopped Oreos, reserving a few pieces for the top.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Scatter the remaining chopped Oreos over the top of the batter.
  9. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  11. Cut into squares. These are the best brownie recipes with Oreos when served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake by about two minutes.
  • To achieve the shiny, crackly top, make sure you whisk the sugar and butter mixture well before adding the eggs.
  • You can use Double Stuf Oreos for more cookie flavor in your homemade Oreo brownies.
