Slutty Brownies

These rich and decadent slutty brownies are perfect when you can’t decide which treat to bake! They’re made of three delicious layers: chewy chocolate chip cookie dough, Oreo cookies, and fudgy brownies. I absolutely love them!

Despite their slightly obscene name, slutty brownies are one of my favorite indulgent treats. If you like layered desserts, like pecan pie brownies and chocolate coconut brownies, you’re going to love these babies. Slutty brownies are made of three distinct layers: chewy chocolate chip cookie dough, soft Oreo cookies, and fudgy brownies. How could that be bad?!

How to make slutty brownies

Three layers sounds like a lot of work, but these brownies are actually super easy to prepare.

Layer 1: chocolate chip cookie dough

Note: Not all slutty brownie recipes call to bake the cookie dough layer on its own first. But after testing this recipe a few times, I really prefer baking the cookie dough layer before adding the second 2 layers so the cookie dough is still soft and chewy, but not raw.

1. Combine the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. Beat together butter and sugar. In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
3. Beat in egg and vanilla.
4. Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined, but be careful not to overmix the dough.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
6. Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a prepared 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch pan. Press down to form an even layer.
7. Bake. Bake for 8 minutes at 350°F/180°C until the cookie dough just begins to set. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
8. Cool. Cool slightly on a wire rack for about 15 minutes until the cookied dough is firm to the touch

Layer 2: Oreo cookies

1. Once the cookie dough layer has cooled and firmed up slightly, layer an even layer of whole Oreo cookies on top of it.

Layer 3: Fudgy brownies

1. Melt the chocolate and butter. You can do this in the microwave in 20-second intervals or on the stovetop using a double boiler.
2. Mix in cocoa powder and sugar. Add sifted cocoa powder and sugar and whisk until combined.
3. Whisk in eggs.
4. Add flour and salt and fold together with a rubber spatula.
5. Pour the brownie batter on top of the Oreos. Spread evenly and use a knife or offset spatula to help spread the batter evenly.
6. Bake. Bake the entire pan for another 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies come out with moist crumbs. Remove and allow to cool completely.

Tip: For easy cutting, refrigerate the brownies until set, at least 4 hours.

Why do I need to bake the cookie dough layer first?

I highly recommend doing this because it helps the cookie dough layer firm up instead of being mushy. Even when you bake the brownies at the end, the bottom layer will not completely set unless you bake it first.

How many Oreos do I need for slutty brownies?

I use approximately 16 Oreos, but you may need a few more or less. Also, if there are gaps with no Oreos that’s okay.

What kind of chocolate should I use for the brownie layer?

Any semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work. I prefer using good quality chocolate bars because the brownies taste better this way, but feel free to use chocolate chips or whatever you have on hand.

Can I freeze slutty brownies?

Yep! Just be sure to wrap them up well in plastic wrap or put them in a freezer safe container so they stay fresh.
