Ingredients
- For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- For the Oreo Layer:
- 1 (14.3 oz) package of Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- For the Brownie Layer:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press this cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Create the Oreo Layer: Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cookie dough. You may need to break some to fit. Don’t worry if there are small gaps; the brownie batter will fill them.
- Make the Brownie Layer: Melt the butter and unsweetened baking chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between). Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until just combined. Pour the brownie batter evenly over the Oreo layer, spreading it to cover completely.
- Bake the Slutty Brownies: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake, as you want a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This is crucial for clean cuts and the best texture.
Tips
- For easier spreading of the cookie dough, you can lightly flour your hands or use a piece of parchment paper.
- Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for both the cookie and brownie layers for optimal texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter once the flour is added; this can lead to tough brownies.
- If you prefer a more cake-like brownie, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of flour to the brownie batter.
- Allowing the brownies to cool completely is key. If you try to cut them while warm, they will likely fall apart.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Delicious on their own, or with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
- Drizzle with extra chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence.
- Pair with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
Storage Tips
Store cooled slutty brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
FAQ
Q: Can I use store-bought cookie dough? A: While you can, making the cookie dough from scratch ensures the best texture and flavor for the base layer.
Q: What kind of Oreos should I use? A: Regular Oreos work best. You can experiment with Double Stuf or other flavors, but the classic provides the perfect balance.
Q: How do I know when the brownies are done? A: A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. The edges should look set.
Q: Can I make these vegan? A: Yes, you can substitute vegan butter, vegan chocolate chips, flax eggs, and vegan Oreos to make a delicious vegan version.
