Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 pinch Salt (use kosher salt for a rounded taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
Cookies and Cream Mix-ins
- 10 pieces Oreos (crushed) (any chocolate sandwich cookie works)
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos (for extra crunch topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easy to lift out the brownies after baking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the softened unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and combined without any lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients. Add one large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt into the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir vigorously to fully incorporate these ingredients into a smooth batter.
- Add Flour. Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fudgy texture in the brownies.
- Mix in Crushed Oreos. Fold in 5 crushed Oreos pieces into the brownie batter evenly to distribute the cookies throughout.
- Transfer to Pan. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Add Topping. Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly on top of the batter to add extra crunch and cookies and cream flavor.
- Bake. Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This helps the brownies set and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve. Use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the entire brownie block out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve your fudgy cookies and cream brownies.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).
- For gluten-free brownies, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- Be careful not to overbake; fudgy brownies should remain moist and slightly gooey inside.
- Using kosher salt enhances flavor by adding a balanced saltiness without overpowering sweetness.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
