# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 115 g unsalted butter
02 - 270 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
03 - 100 g white granulated sugar
04 - 100 g light brown sugar, packed
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 5 ml pure vanilla extract
07 - 5 ml fine sea salt
08 - 65 g all-purpose flour
09 - 55 g unsweetened cocoa powder
10 - 2 cups (approximately 16) Oreo cookies, roughly crushed

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan over low heat, melt unsalted butter. Add semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir continuously until fully melted and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together white granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar until evenly blended.
03 - Add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly aerated. Incorporate the cooled chocolate-butter mixture and mix until homogeneous.
04 - Sift in all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. Gently fold with a spatula until the batter is just combined and no dry flour remains.
05 - Add roughly crushed Oreo cookies and fold gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a 20 x 20 cm baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
07 - Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips and additional crushed Oreos on top for added texture.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
09 - Allow brownies to cool in the dish for a minimum of 20 minutes. Lift out using the parchment, slice into squares, and serve.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For optimal fudgy texture, avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added and do not overbake.
02 - Ensure brownies are fully cooled before slicing for clean portions.
