Description
Cookie Dough Oreo Brownies are a decadent and irresistible dessert that combines three beloved treats: fudgy brownies, cookie dough, and Oreos. The rich, chocolatey brownie base is topped with a layer of creamy, eggless cookie dough and then sandwiched with crunchy Oreo cookies for an extra layer of flavor and texture. This indulgent dessert is perfect for any occasion and will satisfy all your sweet cravings in one bite. Serve them warm for a gooey, melty experience or chilled for a more structured treat.

Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together (it should be thick but spreadable).

Assemble the Brownies:

Place a layer of Oreo cookies over the brownie batter in the pan, pressing them down slightly to fit.

Bake the assembled brownies in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).

Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and enjoy! For an extra treat, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
