Make these homemade Oreo brownies from scratch for a rich, dense, and chewy chocolate dessert. This easy recipe takes only 10 minutes to prep and yields brownies with a desirable shiny, crackly crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

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 large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until fully combined. This step helps create the shiny top.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the chopped Oreo cookies.
  6. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter, for a fudgy texture.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Cut into squares. These cookies and cream brownies are best served at room temperature.

Notes

  • For the best shiny top, do not overmix the batter after adding the flour. Whisking the sugar and butter well initially is key.
  • Use Double Stuf Oreos for extra cookie flavor in your decadent chocolate desserts.
  • If you prefer a thicker, chewier brownie, use an 8×8 inch pan instead and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
