Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 1/4 cups salted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 16 Oreo cookies, crumbled into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the salted butter and light brown sugar. Microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk the mixture. Repeat this heating and whisking two more times until the mixture develops a glossy finish, though some sugar granules may remain.
  3. Incorporate Eggs: Let the butter and sugar mixture cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Continue whisking until the batter lightens slightly in color.
  4. Add Cocoa and Flavorings: Stir in the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Fold in Flour and Oreos: Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the batter until just combined. Finally, fold in the crumbled Oreo cookie pieces evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, beginning to test for doneness with a knife inserted into the center around the 40-minute mark. Depending on your oven, baking may take between 40 to 55 minutes. The knife should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving to enjoy the perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to better incorporate into the batter.
  • Microwaving butter and sugar gradually creates a smooth and glossy base without melting the sugar completely, maintaining desired texture.
  • Do not overmix flour to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Testing with a knife for doneness is crucial as overbaking can lead to dry brownies.
  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter plus a pinch of extra salt if preferred.
