Ingredients:
Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe, self-rising flour, and cake flour will work great as well.
Dutch cocoa powder– we like to use Dutch-process cocoa powder for our brownies because we like the deep and rich chocolate taste, but the natural cocoa powder will work great as well!
Granulated sugar– we like to use granulated sugar, also the most common sugar used in baking. Caster sugar will work great as well.
Eggs– To give the brownies a good structure. Make sure you’re using room-temperature eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven. You will need 3 large eggs.
Vanilla extract– Vanilla extract Is an essential ingredient for brownies.
Salt– We used kosher salt for this recipe. Salt doesn’t give the brownies a salty taste, it helps to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Dark chocolate- use the best quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
Butter- use refrigerated unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter, make sure that you skip the salt in this recipe. We like using unsalted butter to have control over the salt in recipes.
Oreo cookies- we used oreo cookies for this cake because we like the chocolaty taste or oreo cookies, but you can use any kind of chocolate sandwich cookies. use the regular oreo for this recipe and not the double stuffed ones.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a parchment paper-lined 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
Step 2: In a small mixing bowl, add the butter and the dark chocolate. Melt completely in the microwave or on a ben Marie. Let the chocolate mixture to cool completely.
Step 3: In a medium mixing bowl, add the sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir with a whisk until the mixture is combined.
Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture into the wet mixture and mix well.Sift the cocoa powder and flour into the mixture and lightly fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter.
Tips: Don’t overmix! You don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have fudgy and moist brownies and not dense and dry brownies.
Step 5: Chop the dark chocolate into small to medium chunks and break oreo cookies into medium-sized pieces with your hands. Add the chocolate chunks and oreo chunks into the brownie batter and mix until just combined.
Step 6: Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined baking pan and top the brownies with more oreo chunks. Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the tops of the brownies are crinkly.
Tips: Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies to stick to the pan.
Step 7: Let the brownies cool to room temperature and enjoy! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these brownies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these brownies cool for at least 20 minutes so they will be more firm and won’t crumble up.
These brownies are extra moist, fudgy, and melt in your mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 20 minutes.

We use all-purpose flour for brownies, cake flour will work great as well.
We like to use Dutch prosses cocoa powder because it gives the cake a deeper rich chocolate taste, but the natural cocoa powder will work! It’s just a personal preference.
The best way to serve brownies is with a cold cup of milk. another way we like to serve brownies is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and powder sugar on top.
Another way to serve brownies is next to fresh fruit with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
These fudgy brownies will last up to 5 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge, or for up to 3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Cover the brownies with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out. These brownies taste amazing the day after.
