Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (168 grams), softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk (discard the white)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (188 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cups chocolate chips (120 grams)
Oreo Layer
Brownie Layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams), cubed
- 6 oz dark chocolate (170 grams), 50-70% or semi-sweet
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (63 grams)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (23 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan. Line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang around the edges for easy removal later, ensuring the parchment sticks well by greasing the pan first.
- Make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until well combined. Add in 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk (discard the white) along with the vanilla extract; beat until smooth. With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour and salt. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Spread this dough evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula.
- Add the Oreo Layer: Place the Oreo cookies in rows over the cookie dough layer, gently pressing down slightly to embed them. Arrange about 7 rows of 4 cookies each, adding smaller pieces on the sides to cover the whole surface.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Finely chop the dark chocolate. Place chocolate and cubed butter in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave at medium power in 45-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs and granulated sugar until combined. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then whisk into the chocolate mixture until just combined, careful not to overmix.
- Layer the Brownie Batter: Spoon dollops of the brownie batter over the Oreo layer in an even manner, then gently spread the batter to fully cover the Oreos, using a spatula. Distributing the batter in spoonfuls helps spread it more evenly.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 37 to 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out dry or with just a few moist crumbs. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and desired fudginess.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 4 hours. Use the parchment overhang to lift out the slab from the pan. Cut into 18 equal pieces and serve. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Pan Sizes: You may halve the recipe and bake in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan; baking time will be approximately 32-37 minutes. When halving, use 1 large egg in the cookie dough layer. Avoid baking a half batch in a 9×9 inch pan as the batter quantity is insufficient.
- Chocolate Chips: Resist the temptation to add extra chocolate chips in the cookie layer as it makes slicing the brownies more difficult.
- Dark Chocolate Choice: Use dark chocolate 50%-70% cocoa for best results. Semi-sweet chocolate also works well. Avoid higher percentages above 70% to keep balance of richness.
- Nutrition Info: Nutrition estimates are based on 1 brownie out of 18 equal servings.
- Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Recipe Update: In May 2023, the recipe was scaled down slightly to reduce thickness and shorten baking times based on reader feedback.
