Ingredients You Need
You need these ingredients to make this Oreo brookie recipe:
Cocoa Brownies
- Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Butter: Unsalted butter, melted. This gives the brownies their moist and fudgy texture.
- Sugar: A combination of white granulated sugar and dark brown sugar adds sweetness and depth of flavor, with the brown sugar bringing a hint of molasses.
- Eggs: Room temperature eggs help the batter mix evenly and contribute to the brownie’s structure.
- Flour: You can use cake flour for a lighter texture, or all-purpose flour for a denser, more traditional brownie.
- Vanilla and Salt: Add pure vanilla extract for flavor, and fine table salt or sea salt to enhance the chocolate taste.
- Chocolate Chips: Use semi-sweet chocolate chips to add pockets of melty chocolate throughout the brownies.
- Oreos: Incorporate whole Oreo cookies, golden Oreos or double stuffed Oreos for a delicious, crunchy surprise in each bite.
Oreo Chocolate chip cookies
- Butter: Use unsalted melted butter to keep the cookie layer rich and flavorful.
- Sugar: A mix of white sugar and brown sugar and dark brown sugar or light brown sugar for a hint of caramel flavor.
- Egg: Room temperature egg ensures the ingredients blend smoothly for a consistent dough.
- Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cookie layer the right structure and texture, balancing softness and chew.
- Baking Powder: Helps the cookie layer rise slightly, giving it a tender and light texture. You can substitute it with baking soda.
- Vanilla and Salt: Pure vanilla extract adds a warm, sweet flavor, while fine table salt enhances the overall taste.
- Chocolate Chips: Use semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips for delicious, melty pockets of chocolate throughout the cookie layer.
- Oreo: Crushed Oreo cookies add a crunchy, chocolatey twist, making the cookie layer even more irresistible.
How To Make Oreo Brookies
Here are some quick visual instructions. Don't forget that full recipe instructions with exact ingredients can be found in the recipe card below!
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until you get a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
Step 2: Add the eggs and vanilla extract in the mixing bowl, and mix again until well incorporated.
Step 3: Incorporate the dry ingredients—flour, salt, and chocolate chips—and mix until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.
Step 4: Pour the brownie batter into a square pan lined with parchment paper, then add a layer of whole Oreo cookies on top.
Step 5: In separate bowl, beat the softened butter with the white powdered sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Step 6: Add the egg and vanilla extract, and incorporate them using an electric mixer. Then add the dry ingredients—flour, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips—and mix with a spatula until well combined.
Step 7: Pour the cookie dough over the brownie and Oreo layer in the pan, and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring all the Oreo cookies are fully covered.
Step 8: Add extra chocolate chips and pieces of Oreo cookies on top of the chocolate chip cookie layer.
Step 9: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is still slightly soft.
Let the Oreo brookie cool completely in the pan before removing it and cutting it into 16 equal pieces. Enjoy on its own or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic with Ice Cream: Serve warm Oreo Brookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic, comforting dessert.

- With Whipped Cream: Top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos for a light and creamy contrast.
- Serve as a Sundae: Create an Oreo Brookie sundae by layering pieces of brookie with ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream in a bowl or glass.
- Garnish with Fresh Berries: Add a fresh, fruity element by serving with a side of raspberries, strawberries, or a berry compote.
- Cut into Small Bites: For parties, cut the Oreo Brookies into small bite-sized pieces and serve on a platter for easy, shareable treats.

Storage instructions

Variations & Substitutions
Recipe Questions
Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?
Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other types of cookies, such as chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, or even sandwich cookies with different fillings.
How do I know when the brookies are done baking?
The brookies are done when the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). The center should still be slightly soft, as the brookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Can I use a brownie mix instead of making the brownie layer from scratch?
Yes, you can use a boxed brownie mix if you’re short on time. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
What if my cookie dough is too sticky to spread over the Oreo layer?
If the cookie dough is too sticky, you can lightly grease your hands or the spatula with a little bit of oil or butter. Alternatively, you can chill the dough for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
Why are my brookies too dry or crumbly?
If your brookies are too dry, they may have been overbaked. Make sure to check them a few minutes before the suggested baking time is up and take them out when they’re just set.
