There’s nothing quite like a dessert that hits every craving in one bite sweet, chewy, crunchy, fudgy. These Slutty Brownies bring together a buttery cookie dough base, a bold Oreo cookie middle, and a rich brownie layer on top. They’re fun, over-the-top and made for sharing (or not!). Whether you’re baking for a party, a weekend treat or just because you deserve something outrageous, get ready to dive into layers of pure dessert joy.
What Is Slutty Brownies / Why It’s Special
Slutty Brownies are exactly what they sound like bold, unapologetic, and completely indulgent. You start with a chocolate chip cookie dough base, add a full layer of Oreo cookies, then pour brownie batter over the top and bake everything together. The result is a bar dessert where each layer retains its identity but blends into an unforgettable flavor experience. The cookie crust gives structure, the Oreos add crunch and vanilla cream surprise, and the brownie topping brings that gooey chocolate finish. This dessert is special because it fuses three favorite treats into one and delivers maximum satisfaction with minimal fuss.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 package (approx. 36) Oreo cookies or similar sandwich cookies (single or double-stuffed)
- 1 box (approx. 15-18 oz) brownie mix or equivalent homemade brownie batter (with required eggs/oil/water)
Optional Add-Ins:
- A pinch of espresso powder in the brownie layer to deepen chocolate flavor
- Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) stirred into the cookie base for texture
- Sea salt flakes on top after baking for sweet-salty contrast
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Grease the parchment lightly.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
Press this cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a firm base layer.
Step 3: Add the Oreo Layer
Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer directly over the cookie dough base. Ensure they fit snugly (you may need to break a cookie or two to fill gaps) so the layer is nearly continuous.
Step 4: Pour the Brownie Layer
Prepare the brownie batter according to package instructions (or your homemade recipe). Carefully pour the brownie batter over the Oreo layer and spread it gently to cover as evenly as possible.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set, the brownie layer has formed a shiny crust, and a toothpick inserted into the brownie (not directly into an Oreo) comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out and let cool completely (or refrigerate for cleaner slices).
Tips / Variations / Why You’ll Love It
- Tip: Using parchment with overhang makes removal and cutting easier.
- Tip: Let the bars cool fully (or chill briefly) before slicing for cleaner layers.
- Variation: Swap the Oreos for your favorite sandwich cookie flavor (mint, chocolate-mint, peanut butter) for a twist.
- Variation: Add caramel drizzle between layers or sprinkle chopped salted peanuts on top post-bake.
- Why You’ll Love It: It’s the ultimate indulgence dessert that captures cookies + Oreos + brownies in one tray. Bold, fun and a total crowd-pleaser.
FAQs
Q1. Can I make these bars ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake them ahead, cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. Refrigerating helps them firm up even more for cleaner cuts.
Q2. Can I make them in a smaller pan?
Yes. You can use an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan for a thicker result; baking time may need to increase by 5-10 minutes.
Q3. Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a box?
Absolutely! Use your favorite brownie recipe. The key is to have a batter that will fully cover the Oreo layer and bake through.
Q4. How should I cut them for presentation?
Chill the bars slightly to make slicing sharper. Use a sharp knife, wipe between cuts, and aim for squares or even clean rectangles for serving.
Conclusion
These Slutty Brownies are decadent, fun and perfect when you want to make a statement with dessert. Layers of cookie dough, Oreos and brownie come together in one glorious treat that’s sure to impress. Bake a batch, share them (or not!), and enjoy every gooey, chewy, crunchy bite.
