Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)
- 1 pinch Salt (use kosher salt for a rounded taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 10 pieces Oreos (crushed) (any chocolate sandwich cookie works)
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease clean-up.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt into the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Incorporate Oreos: Fold 5 crushed Oreos into the brownie batter to infuse cookie crunch inside the brownies.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula.
- Top with Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the top of the batter for a crunchy, decorative finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour to firm up and develop flavor.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan, slice into squares, and serve your delicious fudgy cookies and cream brownies.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 minutes).
- Ensure not to overmix the batter after adding the flour to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices.
- Check the brownies after 30 minutes to avoid overbaking; a toothpick test is key.
- Sweetened condensed milk is crucial for the rich, fudgy texture—do not substitute with regular milk or cream.
