Make the best, most decadent Oreo brownies with this simple recipe. You get a fudgy center, chunks of Oreo cookies, and that desirable shiny, crackly top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 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 together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and most of the chopped Oreo pieces, reserving a few for the top.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 28 to 35 minutes. For fudgy brownies, aim for a toothpick inserted near the center to come out with moist, fudgy crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Cut into squares. You have made the ultimate chocolate indulgence!

Notes

  • For the best crackly top, do not overmix the batter after adding the flour. The shiny surface forms when the sugar dissolves properly in the melted butter and eggs.
  • If you want a layered look, reserve half the batter, press half the Oreos into the bottom of the pan, top with the first half of the batter, then add the remaining Oreos and top with the rest of the batter.
  • For bakery style brownies, let them cool completely, preferably chilling them for an hour before slicing.
