Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter for 45 seconds until liquid and warm. Whisk in 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
- Step 2: Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Step 4: Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Pour brownie batter evenly into the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula. Press 15 halved Oreo cookies gently into the batter evenly.
- Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
