Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 package (about 14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (keep some whole for topping)
Instructions
- 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.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until completely combined. This step helps create that shiny top.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and about two-thirds of the chopped Oreos.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos and a few whole Oreos on top.
- Bake for 28 to 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your creation!
Notes
- For the best fudgy texture, resist the urge to overbake. Look for moist crumbs on the toothpick.
- If you prefer a thicker, denser brownie, use an 8×8 inch pan instead, adjusting the baking time accordingly (likely closer to 40-45 minutes).
- Chilling the brownies for an hour before cutting makes for cleaner slices.
