Chocolate Chip Cookie 'n Oreo Brownie Bars
 Remember last month when I joined the Secret Recipe Club?? So much fun. This month my assignment was to cook something from Katie’s blog: Betcha Can’t Eat Just One.
Katie lives on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. She is a mom of three who teaches preschool and also runs a daycare a few days a week. Lucky for us, she also finds time to BAKE.
So, as I perused the recipes on her blog, I thought- this looks good, this too, oh this one. Then I clicked on this recipe. Oh my. Is summer over? Is it necessary to put on a swimsuit again? You may want to just bookmark this and try it in October, when it’s sweat pant season.
Absolutely incredible. I mean, how does it get better than this? CC cookie dough, a layer of OREO’S(my favorite store bought cookie), caramel, and a layer of brownie dough? Serious sugar.
Loved it. Thanks Katie.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips, semi sweet
  • 1 package of Oreo cookies
  • 1 package of brownie mix, to be prepared as directed on the box Ghiradelli works well or, home made is always best try this recipe
  • dulce de leche or caramel topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 9X13 pan with parchment paper
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan.
  • Now place the Oreo’s on top of the cookie dough.
  • Spread or drizzle the dulce de leche or caramel topping on top of the oreos.
  • Prepare brownie batter as directed.Pour/spread brownie batter on top and smooth it around with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes. Bars are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out with a bit of a moist crumb attached. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

-I like using a home made brownie instead of the box mix. If using a box mix, I think Ghiradelli is the best mix. Katie prefers it as well. -You may use Double Stuff Oreo’s for the “full strength” version. -As for the caramel layer, it’s optional. You may use a good quality caramel topping such as Mrs. Richardson’s or I love Tom’s brand available online, or if you live in Btown, sold at Dick’s Market and other local grocers. OR, you can slowly heat a can of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) at a very low temperature, until the milk turns thick and caramel color. See directions and a few different methods for this here. I used the sweetened condensed milk route, and think in the future, if I’m adding the caramel layer, I’ll just use Tom’s.
