- 1 cup (114g) Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder OR natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups (153g) chopped Oreos (about 13–14 Oreos)
COOKIES AND CREAM LAYER
- 12 oz (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips

- 1 3/4 cups (138g) chopped Oreos (12 Oreos)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch pan or
line it with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides, which can be used
to lift the finished brownies out of the pan and make cutting easier. Set pan
aside.
2. Combine the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl
and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and
smooth.
3. Add the sugar and whisk until combined.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together to
combine.
5. Add the cocoa, flour and salt and stir with a rubber or
wooden spatula until well combined. Batter will be very thick.
6. Stir in the chopped Oreos.
7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, then bake
for 25-30 minutes. To test the brownies for being done, insert a toothpick into
the center. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, they’re done.
8. Set the brownies aside to cool. When mostly cool, make
the cookies and cream layer.
9. Add the white chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to
a large microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well
after each, until melted and smooth. Mixture will be thick.
10. Stir in the powdered sugar and chopped Oreos, then
spread evenly on top of the brownies. The mixture will be thick, just use your
spatula to help spread it.
11. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then cut into
squares. The cookies and cream layer will be quite firm to the touch, but great
on top of the brownies.
12. Store the leftover brownies in an air tight container at
room temperature for up to a week.
