# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups Oreo cookies, smashed up
02 - 3 big eggs
03 - 100 g white sugar
04 - 55 g unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 65 g plain flour (all-purpose)
06 - 100 g packed light brown sugar
07 - 5 ml real vanilla extract
08 - 5 ml fine sea salt
09 - 115 g unsalted butter
10 - 270 g semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Let the brownies sit in the pan for at least 20 minutes after baking. Use the parchment as handles to lift them out, then cut up into little squares and enjoy.
02 - Turn your oven to 175°C to get it heated. Put baking paper in a 20 x 20 cm dish so you’ll be able to pull the brownies out later with no fuss.
03 - Drop in those Oreo pieces and stir just enough so they’re all over the batter.
04 - Dump in flour and cocoa powder (use a sieve if you can). Don’t overdo it when you fold the mix. Just keep going until you don’t see lumps of flour.
05 - Scrape your batter into the lined dish and even it out a bit. Toss a few extra Oreos or chocolate chips on top if you’re feeling it.
06 - Melt the butter gently on low in a small pot. Tip in the chocolate chips and stir them in so everything melts into a shiny mix. Take off the heat and let it cool for a bit.
07 - Put the white and brown sugars into a mixing bowl and whisk or stir them both until it’s all mixed up nice and even.
08 - Toss the eggs, vanilla, and salt into the sugar bowl. Whisk until it turns smooth and looks a bit fluffy. Pour in your slightly cooled chocolate-butter blend, and mix till it’s all one color.
09 - Pop the dish into your oven for about 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick poked in the middle comes out mostly clean, just a few sticky crumbs hanging on.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - If you want chewy brownies, don’t stir much once you add the dry stuff and keep a close eye so you don’t bake too long.
02 - Make sure they’ve cooled all the way if you want neat slices.
