Slutty Brownies

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Assemble the Layers

1. Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
2. Arrange the Oreos in a single layer on top of the cookie dough.

Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Batter

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Mix in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Pour the brownie batter evenly over the Oreos in the pan, spreading it out to cover the cookies completely.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
2. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. This helps them set and makes cutting easier.

Step 5: Serve

1. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy these decadent brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.

Tips for Perfect Slutty Brownies

• Let Cool Completely: Allowing the brownies to cool completely before cutting helps them set and makes for cleaner cuts.
• Chill Before Cutting: For even cleaner slices, refrigerate the brownies for about an hour before cutting.
• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother, more evenly mixed batter.

Variations

• Add Nuts: Incorporate chopped nuts into the brownie batter for added crunch.
• Use Different Cookies: Substitute Oreos with other types of cookies or candy for a unique twist.
• Layer with Peanut Butter: Spread a layer of peanut butter between the cookie dough and Oreos for a peanut butter twist.
