Step by step
Kitchen tip
We’ve gone with classic Oreo sandwich cookies here, but you can top the brownies with pretty much any cookie of your choice.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4 and line a brownie tin (about 19 x 29cm) with baking paper. Put the butter and chocolate in a pan and melt over a gentle heat, stirring. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- Whisk together the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and then fold through the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Sift over the flour and cocoa powder and carefully fold through the mixture with the salt, until fully incorporated.
- Pour half the mixture into the prepared tin. Roughly break the Cookies ’n’ Creme bars into pieces and use to top the mixture until the whole surface is covered. Pour over the remaining brownie mixture and level the top.
-
Break the Oreos into chunky pieces and then layer these over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set but there is still a slight wobble underneath. Leave to cool in the tin before removing and cutting into 15 squares.To storeThe brownies keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container, or can be frozen.
