Loaded Brownies

brownie cookie with oreos

 

Last week was one of some extreme ups and downs, crazy deadlines and just general uneasiness.  I seemed to let everything slide as I dealt with my own internal sadness. I had multiple blog posts scheduled to go up last week and just wasn’t able to make it happen.

This week, my brain has settled down a bit and I decided it was time to bake. What better way to ease a over-worked mind and a tired body but the most decadent brownies that can be dreamed up**.  

Loaded brownies hit the internet (with a different name) a few years ago and have since remained in my baking repertoire.  I make a big batch and take them to the office, to my friends, to any event that calls for a bit of a treat. Ooey gooey chocolate brownie, Oreo cookies and everyone’s favorite chocolate chip cookies combine to form a perfectly delectable loaded brownie.

I’ve made a peanut butter version too for those of you peanut butter lovers. Let me know if you like them!

Loaded Brownies

Created by on November 14, 2016

      Ingredients

      Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer

      • ½ cup unsalted butter
      • ½ cup brown sugar
      • ½ cup granulated sugar
      • 1 egg
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla
      • 1 ¼ cup white flour
      • 1 teaspoon baking soda
      • 1 teaspoon salt
      • 1 cup chocolate chips

      Brownie Layer

      • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
      • 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
      • ¾ cup cocoa
      • ½ teaspoon salt
      • 2 teaspoons vanilla
      • 2 eggs
      • ¼ cup flour
      • 12 -18 Oreos

      Instructions

      1. Brownies Layer
      2. First, make the brownies. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar and cocoa. Remove from heat and add the vanilla, salt, and whisk in the egg. Fold in the flour and set aside.
      3. Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
      4. Next, make the chocolate chip cookie dough. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla. Add the chocolate chips. Mix just until combined.
      5. Assembly
      6. Now, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil--making sure to leave a bit of overhang. This will make it super easy to pull the brownies out of the pan and leave you with one less pan to clean.
      7. Scoop the chocolate chip cookie dough into the bottom of the pan--pressing down to ensure an even coverage. You may have a little bit left over if you want to sample it.
      8. Place a layer of Oreos on top of the cookie dough layer. You don\'t need to get them super close together. You don\'t need to overlap them.
      9. Pour the brownie mixture on top of the Oreo layer. You just want a nice even brownie layer over the top of the Oreo layer over the top of the chocolate chip cookie dough layer.
      10. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
      11. Let cool for 20 minutes before removing the foil from the pan. Cut into little squares and watch them be devoured quickly.

      If you make this recipe, I would love to know!  Post it on Instagram with #thesurferskitchen.

      ** I am, in no way, am attempting to forget or ignore the sadness surrounding the recent election with a brownie recipe.  But, baking and cooking helps me to feel better, maybe it will help you too.
