Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cookie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 12 Oreo cookies, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brookies after baking.
  2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and melted completely. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix well until fully combined. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt, stirring just until incorporated. Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  4. Assemble the Brookies: Spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer in the pan, spreading it out evenly to cover. Press the halved Oreo cookies gently into the top of the cookie layer to add extra texture and flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Keep an eye to avoid overbaking for perfect texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set. Then, transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy this indulgent, crowd-pleasing dessert!

Notes

  • To prevent sticking, line your baking pan with parchment paper extending over the edges for easy lifting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
  • Ensure butter for the cookie layer is softened (not melted) for better creaming with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the cookie dough to maintain a tender texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake and let residual heat finish cooking.
