Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until a thick brownie batter forms.
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Place Oreo cookies in a single layer over the batter.
- Spread the remaining batter on top and smooth the surface.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate sprinkles on top.
- Chill briefly if desired, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife for cleaner slices.
- Let brownies cool completely before adding the topping to prevent melting.
- Brownies taste even better the next day after chilling overnight.
- You can freeze the base without topping for longer storage.
