Let’s talk Cookies & Cream Brownies—rich, fudgy chocolate brownies loaded with crushed Oreos and topped with a cookies & cream swirl. They’re the ultimate decadent treat! 🍫🍪
🍫 Ingredients
For the brownie base:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
For the cookies & cream topping:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed
🔥 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the brownie batter
- In a large bowl, melt the butter.
- Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy and smooth.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped Oreos.
Step 3: Make the cookies & cream topping
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently swirl this mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
✨ Tips & Tricks:
- For extra drama, press a few whole Oreos on top before baking.
- Chill them before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
- Want more crunch? Add chopped white or dark chocolate chunks!
