These Slutty Brownies combine three irresistible layers: homemade chocolate chip cookie dough, Oreo cookies, and a rich, fudgy brownie layer. Everything is made from scratch<\/strong>, so there\u2019s no boxed brownie mix or store-bought cookie dough needed.<\/p>\n For me, the brownie layer is the hero of this recipe. It needs to stay fudgy, chewy, and deeply chocolatey to balance the buttery cookie dough and Oreo center. Put all three together, and you get thick, decadent brownies with a different texture in every layer.<\/p>\n The secret is getting all three layers right.<\/p>\n The chocolate chip cookie base<\/strong> is buttery and chewy, while the Oreos in the middle soften slightly as the brownies bake. On top is a fudgy homemade brownie layer<\/strong> made with cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n Because both the cookie dough and brownie batter are homemade, you get thick, chewy layers instead of relying on packaged mixes\u2014and you can control the texture of the finished brownies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You\u2019ll find the exact measurements in the recipe card below, but a few ingredients make a real difference in these brownies.<\/p>\n Beat the butter with the brown and white sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n Spread the cookie dough evenly in a 9\u00d79-inch pan<\/strong> lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cookie dough. Refrigerate the pan for 15 minutes<\/strong> while you prepare the brownie batter.<\/p>\n In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, sugars, and semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Remove from the heat and stir for about 2 minutes<\/strong> to let the mixture cool slightly.<\/p>\n Add the vanilla and eggs and whisk until combined. Gently mix in the remaining brownie ingredients, then fold in the walnuts.<\/p>\n Pour the brownie batter over the Oreos and spread it evenly to cover them completely.<\/p>\n Bake until the brownie layer is set but still fudgy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs rather than wet batter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Let the brownies cool before slicing so the three layers hold together cleanly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bake the brownies at the temperature given in the recipe card until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Avoid waiting for the toothpick to come out completely clean. The brownie layer should remain fudgy and chewy<\/strong>, and overbaking can also make the chocolate chip cookie layer too firm.<\/p>\n Once baked, let the brownies cool for at least 1 hour before cutting<\/strong>. They may be difficult to slice while warm, but once cooled, the three layers will hold together much better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This recipe is made completely from scratch, but you can take a few shortcuts when you\u2019re short on time.<\/p>\n Slutty brownies are three-layer dessert bars<\/strong> made with chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom, Oreo cookies in the middle, and brownie batter on top. They\u2019re sometimes described as Oreo cookie brownies or layered cookie brownies.<\/p>\n The dessert was originally known online as the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n\u2019 Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar<\/strong>. The shorter, cheekier name Slutty Brownies<\/em> became popular later and stuck.<\/p>\n Yes. Although this recipe uses homemade brownie batter, you can use a boxed mix when you\u2019re short on time. Just use enough prepared batter to cover the Oreo layer rather than automatically using the entire batch.<\/p>\n Insert a toothpick into the brownie layer near the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter<\/strong>. If it comes out completely clean, the brownies may already be more baked than you want for a fudgy texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Let the brownies cool completely before storing<\/strong> them.<\/p>\n To thaw, leave the brownies at room temperature for about 30 minutes<\/strong>. You can also warm a slice briefly and serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Slutty](\"https:\/\/www.munatycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/slutty-brownie-feature-image-2022.jpg\")
