How to Make Slutty Brownies

Ingredients:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk (discard the white)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Oreo Layer

• 28 Oreo cookies

Brownie Layer

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
• 6 oz dark chocolate (50-70% cocoa) or semi-sweet
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
   • Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. Make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer:
   • In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
   • Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
   • Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until smooth, then fold in chocolate chips.
   • Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared pan.
3. Add the Oreo Layer:
   • Place the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cookie dough, pressing them down slightly.
4. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the cubed butter and chopped dark chocolate together in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
   • Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and granulated sugar until combined.
   • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until just combined.
   • Spoon the brownie batter over the Oreo layer and spread it out evenly.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 37-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Baking time may vary based on how gooey you prefer your brownies.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board to slice and serve.

Pan Sizes

• 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) Baking Pan: This is the most common size for slutty brownies and will yield about 12-16 brownies, depending on how large you cut them.
• 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) Baking Pan: Using this size will result in thicker brownies, but you may need to adjust the baking time, typically adding a few more minutes.
• Mini Muffin Tin: For bite-sized versions, you can also use a mini muffin tin. Fill each cavity halfway with cookie dough, add an Oreo, and top with brownie batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy your deliciously indulgent slutty brownies!
