Slutty Brownies

These are rich, these are sweet, and these are good! What are they? Imagine chocolate chip cookies meet Oreo's meet brownies. I wish I could take credit for them and the name, but I can't, it's a recipe I discovered on What's Gaby Cooking where she took the original creation that used box mixes for the brownie and chocolate chip cookies and made it from scratch. I follow Gaby's recipe for the brownies, but use my own recipe for the chocolate chip cookie part. Possibilities are endless for this dessert.

Slutty Brownies

1 9x9 brownie pan

Serving Size: 16 brownies per recipe

Ingredients
Brownie layer:

• 10 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup AP flour

Oreo layer:

• 1 package of Oreo (regular stuffed or double stuffed) 

Cookie Dough layer: 

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened at room temp)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup AP flour 
• 1 small box of Jell O instant vanilla pudding 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. 
2. The Brownie layer:
3. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat. Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined. Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.
4. The Cookie Dough layer:
5. Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and pudding and mix until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.
6. Assembly:
7. Line the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan with aluminum foil and then spray the foil with baking spray such as Pam.
8. Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom layer.
9. Layer as many oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough. No need to overlap. One single layer will do.
10. Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer and make sure it's evenly layers on top.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife comes out clean, let the brownies rest before serving. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more.
