Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (168 grams), softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk (discard the white)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (188 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cups chocolate chips (120 grams)
Oreo Layer
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams), cubed
- 6 oz dark chocolate (170 grams), 50-70% cocoa or semi-sweet
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (63 grams)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (23 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the layered dessert.
- Prepare Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Greasing first helps the parchment stick better.
- Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined and creamy. Then beat in the whole egg, extra egg yolk (discard the white), and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, gradually mix in flour and salt until incorporated. Turn off the mixer and fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Spoon this cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Add Oreo Layer: Place the Oreo cookies on top of the cookie dough, pressing them down slightly to ensure they adhere well. Arrange seven rows of four cookies each, adding halved cookies as needed to cover completely.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Finely chop the dark chocolate. In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped chocolate and cubed butter. Microwave in 45-second intervals at medium power, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and granulated sugar until well combined. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt to avoid lumps and whisk them into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Assemble Brownies: Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter over the Oreo layer across the pan. Carefully spread the batter to cover the Oreos evenly without disturbing them.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 37 to 45 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out dry or with a few moist crumbs depending on preference.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, at least 4 hours, to set properly before slicing. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out onto a cutting board.
- Store: Keep leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled slightly before adding eggs to prevent cooking them.
- If the flour and cocoa powder are clumpy, sifting before adding helps create a smooth batter.
- Using parchment paper with an overhang makes removing the brownies easier and helps avoid breaking.
- Baking times may vary; check with a toothpick starting at 37 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Allowing the brownies to cool fully is crucial to achieve clean slices and proper texture.
