Tips for the Best Slutty Brownies
- If you prefer a super fudgy brownie top, slightly underbake them and chill the cooled pan for a bit before slicing; this helps them set and gives cleaner cuts.
- For extra chocolate, stir a handful of chocolate chips into the brownie batter before pouring it over the Oreos.
- If your cookie dough is very firm, let it soften at room temperature so it presses into the pan easily.
- A metal pan typically bakes brownies more evenly and produces chewier edges than glass.
FAQs
Can I make slutty brownies from scratch instead of using mixes?
Yes. You can use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough and your favorite from‑scratch brownie batter. Just keep the proportions similar: a thin but even cookie layer on the bottom, a single layer of Oreos in the middle, and enough brownie batter to cover them fully.
Do I have to use Oreos, or can I swap another cookie?
Oreos are classic for this recipe, but you can substitute other sandwich cookies, flavored Oreos, or even chocolate‑filled cookies. Just keep them roughly the same size so they fit in a single layer.
How do I store slutty brownies?
Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days or freeze individual squares tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Let frozen brownies thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the microwave before serving.
Can I double the recipe for a crowd?
Absolutely. Double all the ingredients and bake in a 9×13‑inch pan. The baking time may increase slightly; start checking around 40 minutes and continue until the center is set with just a bit of fudginess.
How can I tell if they’re done when there are three layers?
Check a few spots near the center with a toothpick. It should come out with moist crumbs from the brownie layer but not with raw, shiny batter. The cookie base will continue to firm up as the brownies cool.
