Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 20 crushed Oreo cookies with 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture holds together like wet sand.
- Step 2: Press the Oreo mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch oven-safe skillet to form the crust.
- Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Step 4: In a large bowl, beat 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and the chocolate-butter mixture until combined.
- Step 5: Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Step 6: Sift together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt, then fold into the wet ingredients just until combined.
- Step 7: Pour the brownie batter evenly over the Oreo crust in the skillet and smooth the top.
- Step 8: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Step 9: Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving warm for a rich, chocolatey dessert with a crunchy cookie base.
