# Ingredients:

→ Rich Brownie Batter

01 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
04 - 4 large eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Chocolate Blend

06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
09 - 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

→ Cookies & Cream Infusion

10 - 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, divided
11 - 20 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
12 - 8 Oreo cookies, crushed

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper. This preparation is key for your Best Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies Recipe.
02 - In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until well combined and smooth. Ensure no sugar lumps remain.
03 - Whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Continue whisking for about 1 minute until the mixture is lightened in color and slightly thickened.
04 - In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder until no lumps remain.
05 - Gradually add the dry chocolate blend to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture for this Best Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies Recipe.
06 - Gently fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips and 20 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped, into the brownie batter. Distribute them evenly throughout the mixture to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with 8 Oreo cookies, crushed, and the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. This adds a beautiful finish and extra crunch.
08 - Bake for 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Do not overbake for the Best Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies Recipe. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting.

# Notes:

01 - For the fudgiest brownies, slightly underbake them. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not completely clean.
02 - Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
03 - Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins like different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or even other sandwich cookies.
04 - Serve these decadent brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special treat.
