Instructions
Preparation
- Start by melting the butter in the microwave and allowing it to cool for about 10-15 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- Use a food processor to blend 8 Oreos into small pieces and 4 Oreos into a fine crumb. Keep pieces and crumbs separate.
Making the Brownies
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled melted butter with the brown sugar, white granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a large egg. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips, Oreo pieces, and crumbs.
- Set the brownie mixture aside while preparing the cookie portion.
Making the Cookies
- In another large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the cooled melted chocolate along with vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Then add in the egg, mixing well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, Oreo pieces, and crumbs.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Chill brownie dough in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
- Scoop portions of each dough and combine them gently. Roll into balls and place six on each baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes until the edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.
- Sprinkle a few extra Oreo pieces on top while still warm. Allow cooling for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixture. Chill dough briefly to improve texture. Avoid overmixing to maintain cookies' delicate structure.
