Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 package birthday cake oreos (about 24 cookies)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Flavor and Decoration Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and coating a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter with sugar, incorporating eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Sift together dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient blend into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to prevent over-mixing.
- Gently integrate chocolate chips and roughly crushed Birthday Cake Oreos into the brownie batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Strategically press additional whole and halved Oreo cookies across the surface of the batter for extra visual appeal and texture.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, which helps them set and develop a rich, fudgy texture.
- Once cooled, sprinkle colorful birthday cake sprinkles over the top for a festive finish.
- Cut into square portions and serve.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by using parchment paper with an overhang for easy brownie removal.
- Crush Oreos roughly to create varied texture and pockets of intense flavor throughout the brownies.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance – start checking at 28 minutes to avoid overdrying.
- Consider reducing sugar by 2-3 tablespoons if you prefer less sweetness or want to make a slightly healthier version.
