Halloween Oreo Cookie Boo Brownies (Ready-to-Print Version)

Chocolate brownies filled with Oreos and topped with festive cookies, ideal for Halloween dessert spreads.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Brownie Batter

01 - 1 cup (2 sticks, 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
03 - 4 large eggs, room temperature
04 - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) pure vanilla extract
05 - 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
06 - 1 cup (90 g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt

→ Mix-ins and Topping

08 - 3/4 cup (128 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
09 - 18 Halloween Oreo cookies, roughly chopped, divided

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely and allow it to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk granulated sugar into the melted butter until the mixture is glossy and fully combined.
04 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
05 - Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt directly into the wet mixture.
06 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined and no flour remains.
07 - Add two-thirds of the chocolate chips and two-thirds of the chopped Halloween Oreo cookies to the batter, folding until just distributed.
08 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
09 - Place the reserved Oreo cookie pieces and whole Halloween Oreos on top, pressing gently into the batter. Scatter reserved chocolate chips evenly across the surface.
10 - Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
11 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For clean slices, refrigerate for 30 minutes, then use a large chef’s knife to cut into squares, wiping the blade between slices.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For optimal texture and presentation, ensure whole Oreos with Halloween designs are facing upward on the surface.
02 - Brownies tend to firm up when chilled and slice more cleanly after refrigeration.
03 - When testing for doneness, insert the toothpick in several areas to avoid melted chocolate chips giving a false wet reading.
