If you can't tell already, oreo flavored desserts are my favorite to create. After creating Oreo chocolate chip cookies and Oreo cookie cake, I knew it was time for a brownie version.

These Oreo brookies are a combination of my chocolate chip cookie bars and marble brownies but they are stuffed with tons of Oreo cookies! They are perfect for chocolate lovers!

If you love brownies, try my super popular Espresso Brownies, Miso Brownies, and Cheesecake Marble Brownies.

ingredient notes & substitutions

Oreo Brookies - Cambrea Bakes (2)

Unsalted butter: Salted butter can be substituted if needed.

Unsweetened cocoa powder: I prefer using Dutch-processed cocoa powder for the richest color and flavor! I use this cocoa when I want a rich and fudgy texture, which is why I also use it in my fudgy brownie cookies!

Chocolate chips: The chocolate chips can be semi-sweet or dark chocolate. They are going to make the brownie extra fudgy!

Light brown sugar: The light brown sugar gives the brookies a soft and chewy texture.

Original Oreo cookies: This recipe is very versatile and you can easily substitute a different flavor of Oreo for any holiday or occasion!

Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below!

recipe instructions

Here's how to make this brookie recipe! Before you start, line a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper to hang off the sides. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.

Step 1: Make the cookie dough. In a stand mixing bowl or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the room-temperature butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for two minutes. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

Finally, fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and Oreo pieces into the dough until just combined. Set the dough aside (image 1 below).

Step 2: Make the brownie batter. In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chocolate chips until smooth and combined. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about two minutes. Stream in the melted butter and chocolate and mix until just combined.

Then fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined (image 2 above).

Step 3: Scoop the cookie dough. Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan with a standard cookie scoop, leaving some space in between each one (image 3 above).

Step 4: Scoop the brownie batter. Using the same-sized scoop, scoop the brownie batter in between the cookie dough (image 4 above).

STEP FIVE: Bake! Use your finger to gently press down the tops of the cookie dough balls so that they are the same height as the brownie batter. Sprinkle extra chopped Oreos over the top. Then bake in the preheated oven for 25-27 minutes.

After 20 minutes, place a piece of foil over the top of the pan to keep the cookie dough from browning too much while the brownie bakes. You'll know it's done when a toothpick inserted into the brownie batter comes out covered in a few moist crumbs (image 5 above).

expert baking tips

  • Use a kitchen scale. Baking with a scale is much more accurate than cup measurements. To convert this recipe, click the "metric" button next to the ingredients title on the recipe card.
  • Cover the top with foil. After about 20 minutes, the cookie dough will start to brown. To keep it from getting too brown and crispy, loosely cover the top with foil!
  • Cool them completely. Before trying to cut them into squares, let them cool completely!

storage & freezing

Store the Oreo brookies in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for 2-3 days.

You can extend the life of these brownies if you freeze them! After cutting, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Let them sit out at room temperature to thaw before eating. They will stay fresh in the freezer for 1 month!

recipe faqs

What kind of Oreos should I use in Oreo brookies?

You can use regular Oreos, double-stuffed Oreos, or any other variety!

Can I use a boxed brownie mix and pre-made cookie dough instead?

Definitely! I would follow the instructions on the box and add the chopped Oreos to them. Then keep an eye on them while baking as the baking time will be different.

Can I reheat them?

Yes! You can warm them in the oven or microwave until warm and soft.

    I accidentally used the whole egg instead of just the yolk for the cookie portion. Do I need to start over or will the be fine?
