I am many things, but I never really considered myself to be a baker, or a blogger for that matter.
Despite that, here I am – doing both.

Slutty Valentine Brownies

This week I decided to let absolute decadence rule and found this recipe online at http://whatsgabycooking.com/slutty-brownies/
I made a few tweaks to the recipe and I hope these will be a huge hit at the office.

Ingredients
    For the Brownie layer:
  • Pillsbury Fudge Brownies prepared as the box directs
  •  
    For the Oreo layer:
  • 1 package of Oreo (regular stuffed or double stuffed) 
  •  
    For the Cookie Dough layer:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temp)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cup AP flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan with foil and spray with Pam
  3. Prepare the cookie dough layer:
    • Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. 
    • Add the eggs and vanilla.
    • Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.
  4. Mix the brownie batter as directed on the box.
  5. Layer 1/2 of the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan, pressing down firmly
  6. Layer as many Oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough.
  7. Pour the brownie batter on top of the Oreo layer and make sure it's evenly layered on top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
