Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter You can substitute with margarine if needed.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar For sweetness and a nice, chewy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Adds depth and a caramel note.
  • 2 large Large eggs Bind everything together.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Always use pure vanilla for best results.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides structure.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder Use unsweetened for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder Helps the brownies rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies Chopped for mixing into the batter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
  8. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift them out and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Don’t overmix to maintain fudginess. Chill the batter for extra fudgy brownies. Store in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months.
