Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until smooth. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, sift together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet, spreading evenly.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 12 roughly crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes before slicing directly in the skillet. Serve warm or at room temperature.
