To get the best brownies, you need to focus on the batter. Aim for a thick and smooth consistency. If it feels too runny, your brownies may not hold their shape. Stir gently when mixing. Overmixing can create tough brownies. To check if your brownies are done, use a toothpick. Insert it into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it’s wet with batter, bake a bit longer. For a beautiful dessert platter, cut the brownies into squares. Arrange them on a rustic wooden board. Dust with powdered sugar for a fancy touch. You can also add mini Oreo cookies on top for fun. Pair these brownies with vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream balances the rich chocolate. You might try drizzling chocolate sauce over the top too. This adds extra flavor and looks great! If you need to substitute butter, use coconut oil or vegan butter. These options work well and keep the brownies moist. For eggs, try using applesauce or flaxseed meal. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water for one egg. For gluten-free brownies, use almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This way, everyone can enjoy them! Make sure to check that your Oreos are gluten-free, too. Pro Tips Use Room Temperature Eggs: Allowing your eggs to reach room temperature helps them incorporate better into the batter, resulting in a more uniform texture. Don't Overmix the Batter: Mixing just until combined helps maintain the brownies' fudgy texture. Overmixing can lead to denser, cake-like brownies. Chill for Clean Cuts: For perfectly square brownies, chill them in the refrigerator for about an hour before cutting. This helps them hold their shape. Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add nuts, caramel, or a drizzle of chocolate on top before baking for added flavor and texture. {{image_4}} You can use many different cookies in your brownies. Try chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies. Each cookie adds a unique taste that pairs well with chocolate. You also can mix Oreos with other candies. Think of adding crushed candy bars or marshmallows for fun surprises. Not all brownies need to be chocolate. You can also make blondies. Blondies use brown sugar and butter, giving a caramel flavor.

For fall, add pumpkin spice or nuts. During summer, try fresh berries or mint. You can create themed brownies for holidays. Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or heart shapes for Valentine’s Day. Each season brings new ideas to make these treats exciting. To keep your Oreo stuffed brownies fresh, wrap them well.

Each option will give a new flavor to your brownies. Just make sure the cookie is sturdy enough to hold up in the batter. If you overbake brownies, they can turn dry.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (approximately 16 cookies)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Once melted, take the pan off the heat and add the granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Crack the eggs into the sugar-butter mixture, adding them one at a time. Stir well after each egg until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the pure vanilla extract until just blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and fine salt thoroughly. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing carefully until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
Place the Oreo cookies on top of the brownie layer, spacing them evenly. You can opt to keep them whole or break them in half to make more layers of creamy goodness.
Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the Oreos, using a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the cookies are fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, indicating they’re ready (but no wet batter).
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
