These brownies have become a household favorite for us. I first made them on a whim when I needed a dessert for a family gathering, and they were such a hit that people still ask for them whenever we have an event. There’s just something so satisfying about biting into that layered combination of flavors and textures—each bite is a little bit different, but always delicious.

Ingredients

To make these ridiculously easy and indulgent Slutty Brownies, you’ll need:

• For the Cookie Dough Layer:
  • 1 package of store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough (16 oz) OR homemade dough (recipe below)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for an extra chocolatey punch)
• For the Oreo Layer:
  • 16 Oreos (classic or your favorite flavor)
• For the Brownie Layer:
  • 1 box of brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: typically eggs, oil, and water)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or additional chocolate chips for added texture

Note: If you want to go all-in and make homemade cookie dough, here’s a quick recipe:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let’s get into the fun part—making these beauties! Trust me, it’s easier than it looks, and you’ll have them ready in no time.

1st Step: Preheat your oven and prepare your pan

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang so you can easily lift the brownies out later. This makes clean-up super easy too!

2nd Step: Make the cookie dough layer

• If you’re using store-bought cookie dough, skip this step. Otherwise, here’s how to make homemade dough:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  • Slowly mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.

3rd Step: Press the cookie dough into the pan

• Spread the cookie dough evenly across the bottom of your prepared pan. Don’t worry if it’s a bit sticky—just use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly. This is your first layer, and it should cover the entire bottom of the pan.

4th Step: Add the Oreo layer

• Take your Oreos and line them up on top of the cookie dough. You don’t need to overlap them, just create an even layer. It’s okay if there are some gaps between the cookies—they’ll still bake beautifully into the dough and brownies.

5th Step: Prepare the brownie batter

• In a large mixing bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box (typically adding eggs, oil, and water). If you want to add some extra flair, stir in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips at this stage.

6th Step: Pour the brownie batter on top of the Oreos

1. Gently pour the brownie batter over the Oreo layer, spreading it out with a spatula so it covers the cookies completely. Make sure it reaches all the edges of the pan so you get a nice, even layer.

7th Step: Bake your brownies

• Pop your pan into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the brownies is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay). If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.

8th Step: Cool before cutting

• Once the brownies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. For best results, let them cool completely before slicing—it helps everything set, and you’ll get cleaner layers.

9th Step: Serve and enjoy

• Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and slice them into squares. Each piece will have that gorgeous layered effect with cookie dough, Oreos, and brownies all in one bite.

How to Serve

These Slutty Brownies are a showstopper on their own, but here are a few fun ways to serve them:

• Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate brownie sundae experience.
• Drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce over the top for extra decadence.
• Pair with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee to balance out the sweetness.
• If you’re serving them at a party, stack them on a dessert platter with other sweets like cookies or fudge for a fun variety.

Additional Tips

Here are some quick tips to help you get perfect Slutty Brownies every time:

1. Let them cool completely before slicing: This might be the hardest part, but it’s worth it! Letting them cool helps the layers set so you can see those beautiful, distinct layers of cookie dough, Oreos, and brownies when you cut into them.
2. Make ahead: You can prepare the layers and refrigerate the unbaked brownies for up to 24 hours. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready!
3. Customize your Oreos: While classic Oreos are a favorite, feel free to experiment with different flavors! Mint Oreos, Golden Oreos, or even the seasonal flavors can give your Slutty Brownies a fun twist.
4. Add a peanut butter twist: If you’re a peanut butter lover, try spreading a layer of peanut butter over the cookie dough before adding the Oreos.
5. Store leftovers: These brownies keep well for up to 4 days at room temperature in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.

Recipe Variations

Here are a few creative ways to change up your Slutty Brownies:

• Nutella Slutty Brownies: Add a layer of Nutella between the Oreos and the brownie layer for extra chocolate-hazelnut goodness.
• Peanut Butter Lover’s Slutty Brownies: Use peanut butter Oreos and mix peanut butter chips into the brownie layer for a peanut butter overload.
• Gluten-Free Slutty Brownies: Use gluten-free cookie dough and brownies, and swap regular Oreos for gluten-free ones to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
• Salted Caramel Slutty Brownies: Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the brownie batter before baking, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for that sweet-salty combo.

FAQ: All Your Slutty Brownies Questions Answered

1. Why are they called Slutty Brownies?

The name Slutty Brownies may sound cheeky, but it’s all about how indulgent they are! These brownies combine the best parts of several desserts—chocolate chip cookies, Oreos, and brownies—into one ultra-rich, gooey, over-the-top treat. The name reflects how “naughty” and excessive they feel, like you’re breaking all the rules of dessert. Don’t worry—there’s nothing inappropriate about them, just pure decadence!

2. Can I make the layers from scratch instead of using boxed mixes?

Absolutely! While using boxed brownie mix and pre-made cookie dough makes this recipe super easy and convenient, you can certainly make everything from scratch if you prefer. Use your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie recipes, and layer them just like you would with the store-bought versions. It will take a little extra time, but the end result will be even more impressive!

3. Can I make these Slutty Brownies gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily make gluten-free Slutty Brownies. Simply use gluten-free chocolate chip cookie dough and a gluten-free brownie mix. You can also swap out the regular Oreos for gluten-free versions, which are available at most grocery stores.

4. How long will Slutty Brownies stay fresh?

Slutty Brownies will stay fresh for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, they also freeze beautifully! Just wrap each brownie tightly in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds.

5. Can I add peanut butter to this recipe?

Yes! If you love peanut butter, try spreading a layer of peanut butter over the cookie dough before adding the Oreos. You can also use peanut butter Oreos or mix peanut butter chips into the brownie batter. This will give the brownies an extra creamy, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate layers.

6. What if I don’t have Oreos?

No Oreos? No problem! You can substitute any similar sandwich cookie in this recipe. Try using Golden Oreos, chocolate-filled cookies, or even homemade sandwich cookies. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap the Oreos for other treats like graham crackers, pretzels, or caramel-filled chocolates for a fun twist.

7. Can I make Slutty Brownies ahead of time?

Yes, you can make Slutty Brownies ahead of time! You can prepare the layers in your baking pan and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 24 hours before baking. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them in the oven as directed. This makes them a great option for parties or gatherings when you need to prep ahead of time.

8. What’s the best way to serve Slutty Brownies?

Slutty Brownies are best served slightly warm with a scoop of ice cream on the side, but they’re delicious at any temperature. For an extra indulgent dessert, drizzle them with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving. You can also serve them as part of a dessert bar with other baked treats for variety.

9. Can I double the recipe?

Definitely! If you want to make a larger batch for a crowd, you can easily double the recipe and bake it in a larger pan. A 9×13-inch pan works well for a double batch. Just keep an eye on the baking time—you may need to add a few extra minutes to ensure the brownies cook through.

10. How can I make Slutty Brownies more festive?

To make these brownies more festive, try using seasonal Oreos (like the ones with colored filling for Halloween, Christmas, or Easter). You can also add colored sprinkles to the cookie dough or brownie batter for a pop of fun. If you’re making them for a special occasion, you could drizzle melted white chocolate or colored icing on top to match the theme of your event.

11. My brownie layer turned out too dry—what did I do wrong?

If your brownie layer turned out too dry, it’s likely that the brownies were overbaked. Keep a close eye on them as they bake, and make sure to test them with a toothpick around the 30-minute mark. The toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. If it comes out completely clean, the brownies may be overcooked. Also, consider adding an extra egg or a bit of oil to the brownie mix for a fudgier consistency.

12. How do I get the perfect layers in Slutty Brownies?

To get distinct, even layers, make sure to press the cookie dough down firmly in the pan before adding the Oreos and brownie batter. When pouring the brownie batter over the Oreos, use a spatula to spread it evenly across the entire pan. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting, as this will help the layers hold together better.
