Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/2 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
- Unsalted butter, melted: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Red food coloring: 2 tablespoons
- Oreo cookies: 15-20
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the batter.
- Step 5: Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the Oreo cookies, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center (away from the Oreos) comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them soft.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a brownie square for 10-15 seconds.
- Serve these decadent brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
- To prevent a dry brownie, avoid overbaking and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined – a few streaks of flour are okay!
