Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Unsalted butter
Dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
Granulated sugar
Large eggs, room temperature
Vanilla extract
All-purpose flour
Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
Salt
Chocolate chips or chunks
Oreo cookies

Directions

Melt chocolate and butter – Coarsely chop the chocolate and melt it with butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once fully melted, remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let cool for about 8-10 minutes.
Preheat and prepare the pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9-inch (or 8-inch) square baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Mix wet ingredients – Whisk the granulated sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients – In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Layer the brownies – Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Place about 16 Oreo cookies in a single layer over the batter. Spread the remaining brownie batter on top, then crush the remaining 8 Oreos and sprinkle them over the surface.
Bake – Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist, fudgy crumbs.
Cool and serve – Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving.

FAQs

How do I make my brownies extra fudgy?

Use high-quality dark chocolate and do not overbake them. A slightly underbaked center keeps them gooey.

Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of Dutch-process?

Yes, but Dutch-process cocoa gives a richer, smoother chocolate flavor. If using regular cocoa, add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.

Can I add more chocolate chips?

Absolutely! Feel free to increase the amount for extra chocolaty brownies.

Can I make these brownies gluten-free?

Yes, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure your Oreos are gluten-free, too.

How do I know when my brownies are done?

Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! These brownies taste even better the next day as the flavors develop.

What size baking pan should I use?

A 9-inch or 8-inch square pan works best. An 8-inch pan will make thicker brownies.

Can I use a boxed brownie mix?

Yes! Prepare the mix according to package instructions and follow the Oreo layering method.

Why did my brownies turn out cakey instead of fudgy?

Overmixing the batter or adding too much flour can lead to cakier brownies. Mix just until combined.

What’s the best way to cut brownies cleanly?

Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean after each cut. Chilling the brownies before slicing also helps.

Conclusion

Oreo brownies are a chocolate lover’s dream—rich, fudgy, and packed with cookie goodness. Whether you're baking for a party, a special occasion, or just a sweet treat at home, these brownies will never disappoint. Give them a try and enjoy every decadent bite!
