Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 2/3 cups (120 grams) chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (168 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners and Binding:
- 1/2 cup (105 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
Flavor Enhancers and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 9×13 inch pan with a light layer of grease and draping parchment paper across the surface, ensuring extended edges for effortless extraction.
- Craft the chocolate chip cookie foundation by thoroughly blending softened butter with white and brown sugars until the mixture achieves a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the cookie base, mixing until the ingredients are uniformly integrated and the texture appears light and fluffy.
- Gradually fold in flour, salt, and chocolate chips, stirring gently to create a cohesive cookie dough without overmixing.
- Press the cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan, establishing a uniform base layer.
- Arrange a complete layer of Oreo cookies directly atop the cookie foundation, covering the entire surface with minimal gaps.
- Prepare the brownie mixture by melting chocolate and butter together, creating a rich, glossy liquid.
- Whisk sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture, blending until the batter becomes silky and well-combined.
- Gently fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt, stirring until just incorporated to maintain a dense, fudgy texture.
- Carefully pour the brownie batter over the Oreo layer, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven at 350°F and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, watching for a slightly firm center and crackling surface.
- Remove from oven and allow the dessert to cool completely within the pan before lifting out using parchment paper edges.
- Slice into precise squares, revealing the delectable layers of cookie, Oreo, and brownie.
Notes
- Ensure your butter and chocolate are melted smoothly for a rich, silky brownie texture that prevents graininess.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep brownies tender and prevent a tough, dense result.
- Chill the brownies completely before cutting for clean, precise slices that showcase beautiful layers.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free Oreo-style cookies.
