Step-by-Step Guide to Making Slutty Brownies (Cookie Dough)
Alright, sweet friends, let’s get baking! Making these Slutty Brownies is a breeze. I’ll walk you through each step. You’ll see how simple it is to create these layered treats. Follow along, and you’ll have perfect brownies every time.
- Preheat your oven and prep your pan. First, get your oven ready. Set it to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper. Leave some overhang on the sides. This makes lifting them out super easy later!
- Press in the cookie dough base. Next, take your chocolate chip cookie dough. Press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Make sure it forms a nice, flat layer. This is our yummy foundation!
- Add the Oreo layer. Now for the fun part! Arrange a single layer of Oreo cookies. Place them directly on top of the cookie dough. Don’t leave any big gaps. This creates that delightful crunch.
- Prepare and pour the brownie batter. Grab your brownie mix. Follow the package directions carefully. Mix it up just as they say. Once it’s ready, pour the brownie batter. Spread it evenly over your Oreo cookies. It will look beautiful!
- Bake to perfection. Pop your pan into the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Or, until a toothpick inserted into the center. It should come out with moist crumbs attached. Not wet batter!
- Cool completely. This step is super important. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. I know, it’s hard to wait! But cooling helps them set. It makes for clean cuts.
See? It’s not complicated at all. You’re just a few steps away from pure dessert bliss!
Tips for the Best Slutty Brownies (Cookie Dough)
I’ve made these Slutty Brownies countless times. I’ve picked up a few tricks! For easier cutting, always use parchment paper. Those overhangs are a lifesaver! Make sure they cool fully. Warm brownies fall apart. A plastic knife can also give you cleaner slices. Chilling them before cutting helps too. It makes them even neater. Don’t overbake them. Moist crumbs mean perfect fudginess!
Variations and Substitutions for Your Slutty Brownies
One of the best things about these Slutty Brownies? They are so customizable! I love playing around with different flavors. It keeps things exciting in the kitchen. Don’t be afraid to get creative yourself. This recipe is a fantastic starting point. You can easily make it your own.
- Cookie Dough Fun: Try peanut butter cookie dough. Or, what about sugar cookie dough?
- Oreo Adventures: Use mint Oreos for a cool twist. Golden Oreos add a vanilla note.
- Brownie Boosts: Mix in chocolate chips to your brownie batter. Add some chopped nuts for crunch.
- Candy Power: Sprinkle M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces. Do this over the brownie layer before baking.
The possibilities are truly endless! Have fun experimenting. Make these brownies uniquely yours.
Storing and Serving Your Slutty Brownies
Once your amazing Slutty Brownies are completely cool, you might have some left. (Though I doubt it!) Proper storage keeps them fresh. I always store mine in an airtight container. They stay good at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, pop them in the fridge. They’ll last about a week there. You can even freeze individual pieces for a quick treat later! Just thaw them at room temperature before enjoying. They are delicious served chilled or at room temp.
