The Best Oreo Brookies

Chocolate chip cookies and brownies are definitely my favorite type of dessert! They're so simple to make but are just so yummy. The brownies can be made in one large bowl, and the chocolate chip cookie dough can be made with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. This brookie recipe is seriously next level!

Ingredients Needed

• Flour: I've only tested this with all purpose flour, let me know if you tried gluten free flour with this recipe!
• Sugar: you'll need both light brown sugar and white granulated sugar.
• Baking Soda: a little bit of baking soda is added to the cookie dough, we don't have any baking soda in the brownie batter because we want to keep it nice and fudgy!
• Oreos: it wouldn't be an Oreo brookie without Oreos! I crushed mine in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin, but you could also crush them in a food processor. Leave the filling in!
• Butter: I always use unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt in the recipe. I also use European style butter which has a higher butterfat content, giving us a richer taste and flavor.
• Cocoa Powder: I'm using dutch process cocoa powder. Not sure if yours is Dutch process? Check the ingredients! If it mentions alkali or acidity regulators, then you have Dutch processed cocoa powder.
• Oil: this is what makes our brownies so fudgy and rich, I used vegetable oil but you could use canola oil too. I don't recommend using olive oil or any flavored oil.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Step 2: In a large jug or bowl, whisk the eggs, both sugars, oil and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Place your butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it in 20 second increments until it has melted. Add your chopped chocolate to the melted butter, it should melt in the hot butter but if it doesn't then place it back in the microwave in 20 second increments.

Step 4: Once completely melted, whisk the butter and chocolate together, then whisk in your cocoa powder. Pour the sugar mixture into the chocolate mixture and whisk together until smooth.

Step 5: Pour in your flour mixture and fold it with a rubber spatula. Fold in your crushed Oreos and set this bowl aside while you work on the chocolate chip cookie dough.

Step 6: Place your butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Add both white sugar and light brown sugar and cream for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Step 7: Add your egg and vanilla extract and beat again.

Step 8: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, ground nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Fold in the flour mixture into the butter mixture and then fold in your chocolate chips.

Step 9: In a greased 8x8 baking pan lined with parchment paper, dollop the brownie batter, then dollop the chocolate chip cookie dough on top.

Step 10: Swirl the two together using a butter knife, be careful not to overmix! Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing.
