Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus extra for topping)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream (or milk), as needed for spreading
- 6–8 Oreo cookies, crushed fine (plus extra crumbs for sprinkling)
- 12 Oreo cookies (whole), for pressing into the tops (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper (leave overhang for lifting).
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl (or small pot). Whisk in sugar until glossy.
- Whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir just until combined.
- Fold in chopped Oreos. Spread batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake 28–32 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Cool completely.
- Make frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Add 2–3 tbsp cream/milk until spreadable. Fold in crushed Oreos.
- Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with extra Oreo crumbs and press a whole Oreo into each square if desired.
- Chill 20–30 minutes to set, then slice into bars.
