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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and mix until well combined. Then fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring just until combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
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 fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Assemble the Brookies: Spoon the cookie dough over the brownie batter layer in the pan, spreading evenly. Press the halved Oreo cookies gently into the top surface of the cookie dough layer to ensure they stay in place during baking.
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brookies to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious Oreo Brookies!

Notes

Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
Do not overmix the batter and dough to keep the brookies tender.
Baking times can vary; start checking at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
The brookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a fudgier brownie layer, slightly reduce the baking time.
