Equipment You’ll Need:
- 9×13 Baking Pan
- Stand Mixer
- Black Cocoa Powder
- Spatula
- Offset Spatula (optional)
Ingredients for brookies:
For the Brownie Base:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened black cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (scooped and leveled)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
For the Oreo Chunk Cookie Layer:
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 24 Oreos, chopped into large pieces
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions for brookies:
1. Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease or use baking spray on a 9×13-inch baking pan for easy release of the brookies.
- Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt together in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl or using your stand mixer, combine the melted butter (let it cool slightly), sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder, flour, and salt mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
- Using a spatula or offset spatula, spread the brownie batter evenly in the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Bake the brownie base for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the cookie layer.
2. Prepare the Oreo Chunk Cookie Layer:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt two-thirds of the white chocolate chips and the butter in 30-second increments, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool.
- In your stand mixer, beat the eggs until foamy, then add the sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
- Add the cooled white chocolate mixture, followed by the flour and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the Oreo chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Once your brownie layer is slightly cooled, use a large spoon to drop spoonfuls of the Oreo cookie dough over the brownie layer. Gently spread the cookie dough with a spatula, ensuring the dough covers the brownie layer evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie dough is just set and no longer jiggly. The cookie layer should be soft but not too runny.
- Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into 32 servings (or more, if you prefer smaller portions!).
Notes:
- Parchment Paper Tip: For easy release and a beautiful presentation, consider lining your pan with parchment paper before baking. While it’s not essential, it does make removing the brookies a breeze.
- Cookie Dough Tip: The Oreo chunks will add a delightful crunch to the cookie layer. If you prefer a smoother texture, chop the Oreos more finely, or keep the chunks large for more texture.
- Baking Tip: Be careful not to overbake the brookies. A slightly underdone center ensures they remain fudgy and gooey inside while still having that crispy edge.
