This Oreo brownies recipe combines the best of two chocolate worlds. A layer of Oreo cookies inside rich, fudgy brownies and a crushed Oreos on top of the brownies create a super-chocolatey dessert that explodes with classic flavors.
In our experience, brownies are always a crowd-pleaser. Absolutely no one can say no to them. No one can say no to Oreos, either, which is why we combined both flavors into one amazing brownie.

Instructions
These brownies are simple, basic brownies with one added step. They're super easy to make and beginner-friendly.
In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, flour, butter, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Beat well until the batter is smooth.
Transfer half of the batter to your prepared pan. Add a layer of 12 Oreos on top. Broken or not. Pour the remaining batter on top of the Oreos.
Break the remaining 12 Oreos into pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the batter. Gently press them into the batter.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving.
Hint: Press the top layer of Oreos in the batter just enough for them to stay in place. You already have a layer of Oreos in the center of the brownies.

You sure can. Different Oreo cookie flavors create a different flavor profile for the brownies. Almost all Oreo flavors work well with chocolate, so have fun getting creative!
First, let your brownies cool completely. This allows the fudgy center to set. Then, use a sharp knife with as little pressure as necessary to make your cuts.
