Ingredients
- 225g (8 oz) semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 55g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 75g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
- 75g (1/3 cup) dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75g (2/3 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 80g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips
- 10–14 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt together the chocolate and butter until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Mix Eggs & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Combine: Add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and whisk to combine.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Then fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies.
- Scoop Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
- Optional Chill: For thicker cookies, chill the dough on the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft. Optional: Swirl a round cookie cutter around hot cookies for perfect shapes.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
Tips for Success
- Use good-quality chocolate for deeper flavor.
- Don’t overbake to keep the centers fudgy.
- Chill dough to reduce spreading.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.
Variations
- Mint Oreo Brownies: Use mint Oreos + peppermint extract.
- Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies: Add swirls of peanut butter or PB cups.
- S’mores Style: Add mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
