Oreo Stuffed Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

 

Ingredients

For the brownies

1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
10–12 chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly crushed
1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

3. Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth and glossy.

4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Fold in the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the top.

6. Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the chocolate sandwich cookies over the batter, breaking some into pieces to fill the gaps.

7. Spread the remaining batter over the cookies, covering them as much as possible. Sprinkle the crushed cookies and reserved chocolate chunks over the top.

8. Bake for 28–35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not completely clean batter.

9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30–45 minutes. For an extra gooey texture, serve slightly warm; for cleaner slices, cool completely.

10. Cut into thick squares and serve. The chocolate chunks will remain soft and melty while the brownie center stays rich and fudgy.

Tips

For extra gooey brownies, avoid overbaking them.

Use good-quality chocolate chunks for rich melted chocolate pockets.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Warm briefly before serving for a softer chocolate center
