Dessert recipe not for faint of heart, combines cookies and brownies

brownieDifficulty:
Moderately Easy

I was craving a whole lot of sugar a few days ago, so I had the bright idea to make something super unhealthy. These brownies are the perfect combination of cookie, Oreo and brownie. I admit I got lazy and just bought a tub of cookie dough for the bottom layer. I found this recipe at www.whatsgabycooking.com. You can also use premade cookie dough and brownie mix instead of making them from scratch.

Slutty Brownies

Yield: 1 9×9 brownie pan or

16 brownies

Ingredients:

For the Brownie layer:

• 10 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 1/4 cups white sugar

• 3/4 cup cocoa powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup All Purpose flour

For the Oreo layer:

• 1 package of Oreo (regular

stuffed or double stuffed)

For the Cookie Dough layer:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at

room temp)

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 1/4 cups All Purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate

chips

Instructions:

For the Brownie layer:

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat. Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined. Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.

For the Cookie Dough layer:

Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.

Assembly:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line the bottom of a 9×9 baking pan with tin foil and then spray the tin foil with a layer of baking spray.

3. Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9×9 baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom of the slutty brownies.

4. Layer as many oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough. One single layer will do.

5. Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer and make sure it’s evenly layers on top.

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife comes out clean, let the brownies rest before serving. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more.

Comments:

I gave these brownies a difficulty of two out of five stars because it took me an hour to thaw out the cookie dough, but overall a fairly easy recipe.
