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 the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the layered dessert.
- Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan, then line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal later. Greasing first helps the parchment stick to the pan.
- Make the cookie dough base: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and white sugar until combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to cookie dough: With the mixer on low, gradually beat in the flour and salt until almost incorporated, then gently fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to maintain the dough’s texture.
- Spread cookie dough: Spoon the cookie dough into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth base layer.
- Add Oreo layer: Arrange the Oreo cookies over the cookie dough pressing down lightly to adhere. Use 7 rows of 4 cookies with some halves to cover the layer completely.
- Prepare the brownie batter: Finely chop the dark chocolate. Combine the chopped chocolate and cubed butter in a large heatproof bowl and microwave in 45-second intervals on medium power, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Avoid high power to prevent burning.
- Cool chocolate mixture and add eggs: Let the melted chocolate and butter mixture cool about 5 minutes. Then whisk in the eggs and granulated sugar thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to brownie batter: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then whisk into the chocolate mixture until just combined without overmixing.
- Spread brownie batter: Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter over the Oreo layer and gently spread with a spatula to cover evenly, ensuring not to disturb the Oreo cookies.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 37-45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out dry or with a few moist crumbs. Baking time varies by oven and desired gooeyness.
- Cool completely: Let the brownies cool fully at room temperature, at least 4 hours, to firm up before slicing.
- Remove and slice: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares.
- Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Discard the white of the second egg to keep the cookie layer’s texture just right.
- If cocoa powder and flour are lumpy, sift them before adding to the brownie batter for a smooth consistency.
- Microwaving the chocolate and butter at medium power prevents grainy or burnt chocolate.
- Cooling the brownies completely before slicing helps maintain their structure and prevents crumbling.
- You can customize the Oreo layer by using different Oreo varieties if desired.
