easy brownies recipe

My Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies have the best Oreo flavor and were a HUGE hit when I made them. These rich brownies are topped with an Oreo-filled white chocolate topping, and they're simple to prepare!

Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies

unsalted butter

oz semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

(414 grams) sugar

eggs, room temperature

tsp vanilla extract

(114 grams) Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder OR natural unsweetened cocoa powder

(130 grams) all-purpose flour

salt

(153 grams) chopped Oreos (about 13-14 Oreos)

oz (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips

tbsp (90 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

tbsp (26 grams) powdered sugar

(138 grams) chopped Oreos (12 Oreos)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9&#215;13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides, which can be used to lift the finished brownies out of the pan and make cutting easier. Set pan aside.

2. Combine the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth.

3. Add the sugar and whisk until combined.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together to combine.

5. Add the cocoa, flour and salt and stir with a rubber or wooden spatula until well combined. Batter will be very thick.

7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, then bake for 25-30 minutes. To test the brownies for being done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, they&#8217;re done.

8. Set the brownies aside to cool. When mostly cool, make the cookies and cream layer.

9. Add the white chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to a large microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth. Mixture will be thick.

10. Stir in the powdered sugar and chopped Oreos, then spread evenly on top of the brownies. The mixture will be thick, just use your spatula to help spread it.

11. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then cut into squares. The cookies and cream layer will be quite firm to the touch, but great on top of the brownies.

12. Store the leftover brownies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week.

I made these for a school function and they were a huge hit!! Delicious!

You have managed to merge two of my daughters favorite things! I will be making these for her this weekend! 

These are delicious. I made one modification and only used one cup of sugar instead of two and am so glad I did. They would’ve been way too sweet with two cups of sugar! 

These were the best brownies I've ever had. I made them a little late in the day, and cut a little square off the edge just to try, and no sooner had I done that than my taste buds forced me to cut a huge piece and eat it. Fudgy, creamy, different textures, and easy to make. YUM!

I just made these for my daughter to bring to a party at her teaching job. She needs hem for the morning. Can I put them in the refrigerator or should I leave them out? 

Lindsay, 
OK, so these were amazing, and I’m not surprised, because every recipe I make of yours is incredible. My guests RAVED about them. Now, I’ve been trying to find and come up with the perfect brownie recipe (for how I like them) as long as I can remember, and the base of these seem like it just might be it. Do you think the base would work out well on its own, without the Oreos? Maybe if I add some dark chocolate chips even...
Thank you!
Sara

Ummmm excuse me.. What have you done? These look so good! Going to make them tonight!

These were soooooo good. I can’t stop eating them!!!

Made this tonight as a test run for Christmas goodies next week.... oooooh boy they were fantastic. Definitely sweet, but it cured my sweet tooth for the night. I used 1.5 cups of sugar instead of 2 but that was my only sub. Thanks for sharing!! 

It is VERY rare for me to find a dessert that all of my family of 7 enjoys.  Everyone loved these brownies!  These are easy and delicious.  Great video as well.  Thanks for sharing the recipe.  :)

I love this recipe!! So easy to make and delicious! I made them as a trial in advance for Mother’s Day and i know my mum and rest of family will absolutely love them!

These impossibly delicious Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies are so easy to make with red velvet cake mix. Filled with creamy Oreo truffle filling and topped with rich chocolate ganache &amp; chocolate chips, these brownies are ultimate decadence.

Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies

box (18.25 oz) red velvet cake mix

butter, divided

(about 36) whole Oreos

(11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips (about 1.5 cups)

(12 oz) mini chocolate chips (about 1.5 cups)

(1/2 pint) heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9&#215;13 baking dish with foil and coat with cooking spray. Beat together cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 2 eggs until fully combined and smooth. Press into the bottom of prepared pan and bake for 15-18 mins, until just set. Do not overbake.

Crush whole Oreos in a Ziploc bag or food processor into fine crumbs. Stir together with remaining 1/2 cup melted butter and mix well. Pour over baked red velvet brownies and gently press down in an even layer.

Place the milk chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a low boil, then pour over chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk together until completely smooth and thick. Pour over Oreo layer. Top with mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 30-45 mins to allow chocolate ganache to set up. Cut into bars and serve.

Most amazing dessert I've had that you make at home. My girls ask for these as their go-to celebratory dessert. I make them in a smaller pan so the red velvet layer is a little thicker, and it comes out perfect.

The BEST No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe with NO cream cheese and NO cool whip!!!

Peanut Butter Pie

We took the fudgy, delicious cosmic brownies from your lunchbox days and made them sans corn syrup and weird additives so adult you can enjoy these delicious chocolatey treats :)

Copycat Cosmic Brownies

all-purpose flour

cocoa powder

brown sugar

unsalted butter, melted

eggs and 1 egg yolk, room temperature

honey

vanilla extract

chocolate chips

heavy cream, room temperature.

candy coated chocolate sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until homogenous. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract and whisk until combined, about 1 minute.

Stir in the dry ingredients until no clumps of flour or cocoa remain. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool.

While the brownies cool, make your ganache. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, whisking constantly to make sure they do not burn. Slowly pour in the cream, whisking constantly until smooth and combined. Pour over the cooled brownies and let set for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate candies and enjoy!

My kids are obsessed with these. And I am too! So so good. We didn't do the ganache and just put the candies on top before we baked them and they were great!

This recipe is amazing!!! You really have to make sure your heavy cream is room temp, I learned the difficult way :). I will be making this recipe again and sharing it. Thank you!

hi! i was looking and i found two cocoa powders from Rodelle’s. By any chance do you know which one you used? there was the organic cocoa powder and the gourmet cocoa powder. thanks!

When I was a teenager, I loved cosmic brownies- they were my guilty pleasure. As I got older, I learned to love baking and always wanted to recreate my favorite treat. This recipe does not disappoint! So easy and quick to pull together, and they came out so delicious. I think I like them homemade. I made these for my holiday cookie tins this year and I am so proud! I dressed them with Christmas-themed sprinkles. Will continue to make as the years go on.

My brownies were done at 17 minutes so if you make these check earlier than 20. I knew the ganache would be too bitter for kids so I used 1 cup milk chocolate and 1/2 cup semi sweet and it came out perfect. Great treat for lunch boxes :)

Delicious!! What are the storage instructions? How long will they last at room temp or in fridge with the ganache topping??

What size pan do you suggest for doubling the recipe?

Ohh my goodness!! I just made these for my family, cosmic brownie obsessseddd!!, and they LOVED them!! My dad is a child at heart, and he ate 1/3 of the pan right away!! Waiting for my brother to be the real judge since he eats cosmic brownies in his lunch every day, but I'm sure he will love themmm! I made the ganache with 3/4 cup milk chocolate and 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips!

These were absolutely amazing!!! I shared one with my brother and ate the rest myself 😅 they were PERFECT so fudgy and rich.
I will definitely be making these again!

This recipe is amazing! I didn't put as much ganache as called for but other than that it was really good! The texture is great.

I just made these, and OH MY GOSH these are wayyyy better than cosmic brownie's!!!! I don’t think I’m gonna be able to share…

These were amazing! They took a little longer to cook than the instructions said but that could also just be my oven. Broma bakery recipes never miss

I’ve tried some cosmic brownie recipes that flopped hard but these turned out SO yummy and fudgy and amazing. They were incredibly easy. Brownies aren’t my favorite baked good, but these are making the regular rotation. I would count this as broma nostalgia + quick late night treat!
