Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownies AKA Slut Brownies

My oh my are ready for this amazing treat? While searching Pinterest for a recipe for something easy to make for our Memorial Day picnic I came across this amazing dessert. I do have to warn you these bad boys are rich so a little piece goes a long way. 

Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownies AKA Slut Brownies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (a whole bag basically)
  •  1 package of oreo cookies
  • 1 package of brownie mix (to be prepared as directed on the box) I used a cheap store brand
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 9X13″ pan with parchment paper (the parchment paper really does help with getting it out of the pan plus easy clean up)
The Chocolate Chip cookie layer:
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs followed by vanilla and mix well.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and continue to beat until well combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the pan.
Next comes the Oreos:
Now place the oreos on top of the cookie dough. Use your favorite Oreos and try spicing it up with the mint oreos, double stuffs, or any other type you would like to use I used regular ones.
Finally those amazing brownies.
Prepare brownie batter as directed on the box it came in. (I didn’t even wash out my mixer bowl…just scrape the cookie dough clean and move on!)
Pour brownie batter on top and smooth it around with a spatula.
Bake for 40-50 minutes.  They should look slightly under baked.  The edges will likely puff up and dry out a bit, at first I thought I did something wrong but thats just how they are supposed to be. I cut mine a little too early and thought "oh no they aren't done!" As hard as it is, just let them cool completely it will take a few hours and then cut them. Trust me you won't be sorry.

This recipe is so simple and will leave a huge impression on anyone that tries one. Plus the clean up is so little! Only one mixing bowl for the whole thing, plus with the parchment paper your pan will even be clean. So simple recipe and little clean-up, that is for sure a yes in my book! 

Good Luck

Welcome to my blog!

I am anything but a cook or baker. I have always been known to burn toast and never able to make a batch of cookies. But since finding out I have a little one on the way I am determined to cook and bake without fail. As many of you have come to know and love Pinterest, I myself have fallen victim to is hypnotic ways. But with the endless hours of browsing, I have come across many recipes that are so simple that even I can't screw them up. So this blog will be all the recipes I have successfully made and others have enjoyed. I will make sure to explain everything so if there is anyone else like me that just has the worst luck with making food, I hope to help you out! Also don't hesitate to ask any questions!

Enjoy
