Description
Delight in rich, fudgy brownies generously stuffed with chocolate sandwich cookies for an irresistible twist on a classic dessert. This Cookie-Stuffed Brownies recipe combines the best of two iconic treats into one decadent bake, perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)
Cookie Filling
- 12 to 16 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
Topping (Optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Others
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper for lining the pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it thoroughly with nonstick spray.
- Prepare brownie batter: Following the instructions on the brownie mix box, combine the mix with required eggs, oil, and water to form the batter.
- Layer the base: Pour half of the prepared brownie batter into the baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Add the cookies: Arrange the chocolate sandwich cookies in a single layer on top of the brownie batter. Gently press them down to ensure good contact.
- Cover the cookies: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookies, smoothing the surface to fully cover them.
- Add toppings: If desired, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the brownie (avoiding going through a cookie); it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares to ensure clean slices and prevent crumbling.
Notes
- For a homemade approach, substitute the boxed brownie mix with your favorite from-scratch brownie recipe.
- Experiment with different cookies such as peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or even cookie dough for variation.
- Chilling the brownies before slicing can help achieve cleaner edges.
