Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (approximately 14 oz)
- 1 pinch Salt (use kosher salt for a rounded taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
Cookies and Cream Mix-in
- 10 pieces Oreos (crushed) (any chocolate sandwich cookie works)
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos (for extra crunch topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add one large egg, the sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of kosher salt to the melted butter and chocolate. Stir vigorously until the mixture is well combined and silky.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the brownies tough.
- Incorporate Oreos: Fold in 5 crushed Oreos into the batter to distribute cookie pieces evenly throughout the brownies.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add Oreo Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos over the batter to create an enticing crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This helps them set and develop their fudgy texture.
- Serve: Use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve them as a decadent dessert or snack.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
- Using kosher salt enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain a tender crumb.
- Allowing the brownies to cool completely before slicing ensures clean cuts and the best texture.
