Ingredients

½ cup salted butter softened
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup sprinkles
12 golden Oreos chopped or broken

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Whisk in the egg until it is thoroughly combined with the creamed sugar mixture.
Gently whisk in the flour, sprinkles, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure no dry pockets remain in your cookie dough.
Press the cookie dough into an 8x8 inch baking dish and top with your chopped Oreo pieces. Bake your bars for 25 minutes, or until the top of the bars are golden brown.
Let your bars cool on the counter for 30 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Use softened butter: Ensures smooth creaming and creates soft, chewy cookie bars
Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the bars tough instead of tender
Use a room temperature egg: Helps ingredients combine evenly for a consistent texture
Line your pan with parchment paper: Makes removing the bars easy and prevents sticking
Press the dough evenly into the pan: Ensures even baking and uniform thickness
Add extra Oreos on top: Boosts both flavor and visual appeal
Check for doneness early: Prevents overbaking and keeps bars soft in the center
Cool completely before slicing: Allows the bars to set and hold their shape
Cut with a sharp knife: Helps create clean, even bars without crumbling
Let bars rest before serving: Enhances flavor and improves texture
