So these cookies and cream brownies are ooey and goey and sticky and messy and totally un-photogenic. They nearly gave me a heart attack while trying to capture them but that’s a story for another day (death by brownies – there could be worse things, yes?) I’m here to confirm, however, that what they lack in model-esque capabilities, they make up for ten times over in taste. I mean, cookies and cream brownies? It doesn’t get more decadently delicious than that!
1/2 cup cocoa powder (the best quality you can find)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 oreos
FOR THE TOPPING
5 oreo cookies, crumbled
1 cup of fresh whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together butter and sugars until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing completely in between each addition. Mix in oil and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
Pour the flour mixture into the wet mixture in 4 parts, mixing well between each addition.
Pour half of your mixture into a greased 8" x 11" baking dish.
Place cookies on top of batter in 4 rows of 4 cookies.
Pour remaining batter mixture on top and distribute evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick, inserted in the centre, comes out almost clean.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
In the meantime, make your whipped cream and fold the crumbled cookies within it.
Once brownies are completely cool, spread whipped cream on top and cool in fridge for 1 hour.
