You don’t need a pastry degree—just a wicked sweet tooth and a baking pan. These Mouthwatering Slutty Brownies are the culinary equivalent of a mic drop: cookie base, Oreo middle, fudgy brownie crown. It’s three desserts stacked like a skyscraper of chaos and joy.
Friends will ask for the recipe; enemies will ask for a truce. Warning: they disappear faster than your willpower on a Friday night.
What Makes This Special
It’s the triple-layer architecture: buttery chocolate chip cookie dough, a layer of Oreos, and a glossy brownie batter that bakes into a fudgy dream. The textures are wild—chewy edges, molten center, and crunch from the cookies. No stand mixer needed, and store-bought shortcuts are totally fair game.
Also, it scales like a champ for parties, bake sales, or “I deserve this” nights.
What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
- For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 3/4 cup (130 g) chocolate chips
- For the Oreo Layer:
- 18–22 Oreo cookies (regular, not double-stuffed)
- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (35 g) cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips (optional but obvious)
- Pan & Extras: 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) pan, parchment, nonstick spray
Cooking Instructions
- Prep the pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 pan with parchment, leaving overhang. Grease lightly.
- Make the cookie base: Whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until glossy.Add egg and vanilla. Fold in flour, baking soda, salt, then chocolate chips. Press evenly into the pan.
- Layer the Oreos: Arrange Oreos snugly over the cookie dough in rows.Don’t crush—let them stay whole for that signature bite.
- Brownie batter time: Melt butter, then whisk in sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Sift in cocoa, flour, and salt; fold until just combined.Stir in chips if using.
- Assemble: Pour brownie batter over the Oreos. Spread gently to cover every corner. Do not overwork—you want distinct layers.
- Bake: 32–38 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in a corner comes out with moist crumbs (center will still be fudgy). If edges darken too quickly, tent with foil.
- Cool & slice: Cool in pan at least 1 hour (or chill 30–45 minutes) before slicing.Use a hot knife for clean edges. Yes, patience is pain, but it’s worth it.
Preservation Guide
- Room temp: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
- Fridge: Keeps 5–6 days; texture becomes fudgier. Warm 10–15 seconds in the microwave.
- Freezer: Wrap slices individually and freeze up to 2 months.Thaw at room temp or reheat from frozen for 20–30 seconds.
Nutritional Perks
Look, this is dessert—joy is the main macro. But you do get satiety from fats, and a bit of iron and magnesium from cocoa. Portion control is your friend; a small square can crush cravings.
If you’re counting, one square (1/16 of the pan) is roughly 250–320 calories, IMO worth every one.
Pitfalls to Watch Out For
- Overbaking: The center should be soft; carryover heat finishes the job.
- Runny layers: If butter is too hot or eggs are overbeaten, the brownie gets cakey. Cool butter and gentle mixing = fudgy win.
- Dry cookie base: Measure flour accurately (spoon and level). Too much flour kills the chew.
- Sticking to the pan: Parchment sling is non-negotiable.Don’t skip it.
Mix It Up
- Peanut butter twist: Swap Oreos for peanut butter sandwich cookies; swirl 2 tbsp warmed peanut butter into the brownie top.
- Salted caramel flex: Drizzle 1/3 cup thick caramel over the Oreos before brownie batter; finish with flaky salt.
- Gluten-free mode: Use 1:1 GF flour blends for both layers and GF sandwich cookies.
- Mocha energy: Add 1 tsp instant espresso to the brownie batter for deeper chocolate flavor.
- Birthday party: Stir rainbow sprinkles into the cookie dough and top with more post-bake.
FAQ
Can I use boxed mixes?
Absolutely. Use a store-bought cookie dough and your favorite brownie mix. Just keep the Oreos in the middle and watch bake time—start checking at 30 minutes.
Do I have to use Oreos?
Nope.
Any sandwich cookie works. Just avoid super-stuffed varieties, which can make layers slide.
How do I get perfectly clean slices?
Chill the pan, then use a hot, dry knife. Wipe between cuts.
It’s a tiny ceremony that pays off with bakery-worthy squares.
Why is my center gooey?
That’s the point. But if it’s liquid, it needed more time. Pop back in for 5–8 minutes, tented with foil, and recheck.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes: use plant-based butter, dairy-free chocolate chips, and dairy-free sandwich cookies.
Texture stays excellent.
Final Thoughts
These Mouthwatering Slutty Brownies are chaos in a pan—in the best way. They’re simple, dramatic, and guaranteed to convert skeptics into fans. Make a batch, stash a square for Future You, and accept the compliments with suspiciously humble nods.
Fair warning: once you serve them, you’re officially “the brownie person.”
