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 (preferably kosher salt)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
Cookies and Cream
- 10 pieces Oreos, crushed (or any chocolate sandwich cookie)
- 5 pieces More crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the softened unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together. Stir every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of kosher salt to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend) into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
- Incorporate Crushed Oreos: Fold 5 pieces of the crushed Oreos into the brownie batter, distributing them evenly for texture.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Top with More Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the top of the batter to add extra crunch and cookies and cream flavor.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool Before Slicing: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour to set and develop fudgy texture.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve fresh for the best creamy and fudgy experience.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, rested until gelled).
- You may use milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips for a different chocolate flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to ensure the brownies remain soft and fudgy.
- Use parchment paper to easily lift brownies out of the pan for perfect cuts and less mess.
- Allowing the brownies to cool completely is crucial for the best texture and flavor.
- Gluten-free flour blends can be used as a 1:1 substitution for a gluten-free version of these brownies.
