Pinned & prepped: Chocolate chip cookie n’ Oreo fudge brownie bar

February 2, 2012 by Emily Hill 29 Comments

*sigh*

I had such high hopes for these chocolate chip cookie n’ Oreo fudge brownie bars. I mean, you’re combining three desserts into one: chocolate chip cookies, Oreos and brownies. And even though I’m more a fan of the Reduced Fat Oreos (less filling) than Double Stuf (way too much filling), those three layers of goodness were calling my name Monday night. Or maybe it was the photo.
…

…
Actually, they were calling my Facebook friends’ names too once I’d uploaded a photo halfway through preparing the chocolate chip cookie n’ Oreo brownies:

And yes, a Double Stuf Oreo is missing from the bottom right corner of the pan. When I pulled it from the package, it was slightly broken so I had to eat it. You would’ve done the same.

Unfortunately, once prepped and baked, mine looked nothing like the pinned photo and not just because I lack some skills in food photography.

I’m wondering if these would’ve turned out better in an 11×14-inch pan rather than a 9×13. I baked them 5 minutes longer than the longest time listed in the recipe, did the toothpick test and pulled them out before the edges started to burn. Sadly, the cookie dough on the bottom got pretty toasty while the brownies in the center remained raw.

I was able to cut a good 3-inch or so border from just inside the edge of the pan…

…but they look more like modern art than a dessert bar you could stack a mile high and top with hot fudge sauce.

I don’t think I’ll be making this recipe again, but I may do a variation on the theme.

You know, bake some chocolate chip cookies and a pan of brownies and grab a package of Reduced Fat Oreos. Then I’ll take a dessert plate and stack them starting with the cookie and ending with the brownie.  I’ll top it all with a solid scoop of vanilla ice cream and some homemade chocolate syrup.

Then I’ll do it all again the next night but mix it up by starting with the brownie on the bottom. Or maybe the Oreo. The possibilities are endless!

If you’d like to brave a batch of chocolate chip cookie n’ Oreo fudge brownie bars, here’s what you’ll need:

Butter
Sugar
Brown sugar
Eggs
Vanilla
Flour
Baking soda
Salt
Chocolate chips
Double Stuf Oreos
Brownie mix for a 9×13-inch pan
More eggs
Oil
Hot fudge topping (optional)

      Best kind of coma if you’re going to go into one.

    Okay, so after you said on Facebook that it wasn’t a good turnout for you either, even though your oven isn’t craptastic like mine, I thought long and hard about the problems with this recipe.

    Cookie dough on its own takes like 8 minutes to bake, while brownie mix takes 30-ish minutes. There is no way to win with this recipe. I want my package of brownie mix and oreos back!

      You are so super smart, Jill. Even when you bake cookies in a pan so you can do the bar cookie thing, they don’t take 30 minutes. The only way to win is to bake them all separately and then eat them all together. ;)

    I tried this recipe two wasy, and both were successful!

    1) in a small brownie pan, I first baked the brownies for 1/2 their total cooking time, Then I added the oreos and finally placed cookie dough on top (bought the pre-sliced cookie dough and just flattened them and lightly layed them on top).

    2) I used a longer baking pan (9×13 I think) so that the brownie batter was in a thinner layer and would bake faster. However, I used the same amount of cookie dough as the first method so the brownie/cookie ratio wasn’t even and the final product definitely tasted more like cookie than brownie.

    Method 1 was used for a Super Bowl party with over 40 guests. Lots of people brought desserts, by this receipe was the first to go! :)

    Would agree that these are definitely best served warm. And personally I think that if they are just slightly undercooked they are best — a little gooey! :)

    How about freezing the cookie dough and putting an extra layer of cookie sheet under the pan to delay the cookie baking time? Or, baking smaller batches using bread pans so the brownie cooks faster?

    Link to Igor Bars recipe, just for giggles. Massive sugar shock.

    So I’ve tried this recipe 4 times and only succeeded on the 5th.
    The first time it was as hard as rocks, I could actually seriously hurt someone if I decided to hit them with the choc chip oreo brownie.
    2nd time around I got the gooey brownies and decided that is how we should have them. I renamed it to gooey brownies and served it just like that (Didn’t realize it was still raw, it tasted great though ;-)
    Made them like the 3rd time around as well and my kids loved it. I have to say, when you let them stand for a day in the fridge it gets less gooey and sort-off sets.
    Then I read this article and decided to try it by first doing the brownies then the oreos and lastly the choc chips – huge disaster!
    Finally I went back to my 1st way of doing it but with some changes, so here are my suggestions:
    1. remember to raise the rack in the oven above the middle. Cookies should always be baked higher that the middle rack.
    2. turn the heat down (my oven is way to hot so I usually turn it down a bit to compensate, this time I turned it down a lot and voila! it worked!
    Kids were a bit disappointed though, they loved the gooey stuff.
