What is a brookie?
Before we tell you how to make one, I guess we should explain exactly what we’re talking about.
“Brookie” simply refers to a recipe that combines brownies and cookies together in one pan. There have been many variations of this idea in the past, but we’re pretty excited about our version!
Read on to see all the goodness we have to share…
Ingredients for this Brookie recipe with oreos
You’re essentially making two separate recipes here and sandwiching some Oreos between them. Here’s what you’ll need…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Oreo Layer
- 16 Oreo cookies
Brownie Layer
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Toppings
- 5 Oreos, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (some melted for drizzle on ice cream)
How to make Oreo brookies
- Line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray the parchment with non stick cooking spray.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- Beat the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Once that’s nice and fluffy, add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat again until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking soda and mix until combined.
- Dump in the chocolate chips and fold into the cookie dough with a spatula.
- Transfer the cookie dough into the lined baking pan. Use your hands to press it down into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer (anything else you try to use will get stuck).
- Put the pan into the freezer for 20 minutes (if you don’t have room in the freezer you can put the pan into the refrigerator while you make the brownie batter). Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees f.
Brownie Batter Layer
- Put the butter and the chocolate in a microwave safe small or medium bowl. Microwave for short, 30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring well each time, until they are melted (it should only take a minute or two).
- Add the eggs and sugar into a large bowl and whisk them until they are thick and frothy.
- Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the large mixing bowl along with the vanilla extract. Use a rubber spatula to fold it all together in large looping movements.
- Add the flour, salt and cocoa powder. Fold into the mixture gently with the spatula, taking care not to over mix.
Assembling
- Take the cold cookie layer out of the freezer. Arrange 16 Oreos on top of the cookie base then pour over the brownie mixture. Use a spatula to spread out the brownie batter so that it’s even.
- Scatter chopped Oreos and chocolate chips over the top of the brownie batter.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for a couple of hours before removing and slicing into 16 equal squares.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Substitutions
A few of the ingredients in this recipe can easily be changed.
- Brown Sugar – You can substitute the brown sugar in this recipe for all white sugar if you prefer.
- Chocolate Chips – We used a mixture or semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. You can use whichever you prefer – white chocolate chips also work well.
- White Sugar – you can use all brown or all white sugar in the brownie layer but we think browniestaste better with a mixture of both!
Variations
Since we have three different parts of this recipe, we have three fun areas we can create variety in!
- Brownie Layer – Mix things up and make something other than a fudge chocolate brownie for this layer! Maybe something like a strawberry brownie!
- Oreo Layer – Oreo cookies come in a LOT of flavors these days, and each one would change the finished result of this recipe. So many possibilities!
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer – you could switch up the type of chocolate chip in the dough to create a slightly different cookie base for these cookie brownies. You could even try something like butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips!
Storage
Store your Oreo brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you refrigerate them, these Oreo brookies (aka slutty brownies…cheeky, we know) can last for a week or longer, just bring them to room temperature before eating for the best experience.
Expert tips and FAQs
We used double stuff Oreos to get a really thick Oreo layer but any type of Oreos will work in this recipe. You can use the original cookies or get creative and use some of their fun new flavors!
You sure could! If you are short on time, you could definitely substitute the chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie batter in this recipe for quicker, store-bought versions.
If you are storing these brookies in the fridge, you can just let them sit on the counter until they are room temperature.
If you like a warm, gooey brookie though you could reheat them in the oven. Heat the oven to 350°F again and pop your brookie in on a cookie sheet for a few minutes until it’s warm.
