These Cookies and Cream Brownies have a chocolatey dense brownies topped with a light and fluffy Oreo frosting. I’ve tried a lot of brownie recipes and this basic recipe is the one I love so far.
On the the way home from Lake Powell we stopped at Sonic and got not ONE but TWO of their Double Stuffed Oreo Shakes. Oh man we deserved them.
Since then, I’ve had Oreos on the brain.
CAN I DOUBLE THIS?
Absolutely. Just double all of the ingredients and bake in a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Cookies and Cream Brownies
These Cookies and Cream Oreo Brownies are rich chocolate fudge brownies with a creamy Oreo frosting.
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 3 eggs; lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 Oreo cookies, crumbled
Cookies and Cream Frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 5 Oreo cookies, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 9×9 inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Microwave chocolate and butter in large bowl for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted.
- Whisk mixture until chocolate is melted. Stir in sugar. Add in eggs, extract and salt. Gradually add in flour and stir until just combined. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes; do not over bake. These taste completely different if they are overbaked!
- Remove to cooling rack.
- For the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy with a mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar slowly, mixing together until combined. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add milk to desired consistency. If your frosting is too thick add more milk and if it’s too thin add some more powdered sugar.
- Crush Oreos and fold them into the frosting.
- Frost cooled brownies. Makes enough frosting for a 9X9 pan of brownies. Makes around 12 brownies.
I was going to make this recipe today, but I realize I only have the powdered unsweetened chocolate. Is there a way to substitute that? I saw directions for that on the back of the powdered chocolate container, but I wasn’t sure to do with all of the butter that was in the original recipe.
Shoot Laura. I would be lying if I said I knew it would work.
Truly it’s called SEO that when i search for this paragraph I found this web site at the top of all web pages in search engine.
Wow. These brownies are so rich that they pack a wallop. Thanks for sharing this recipe; it’s fantastic!
Owh…Tasty, love chocolate coockies
What a crazy trip! My family and I were also at Lake Powell earlier in June and also got a stomach bug…maybe it was sometthing on the houseboat…who knows.
Anyhow, I love your site and I’ve been a long-time follower! Your site along with Annie’s Eats inspired me to start my own cooking blog!
@Annie and Ambs,
So glad you guys are here. Welcome to the land of gluttony!
Im a new follower, but I wanted to tell you that these brownies look amazing! I don’t like to bake, but I see these appearing in my kitchen soon!
Have a great weekend!!!
Love love love this blog. I’m your newest follower. So fun. Can’t wait to hear more.
doesn’t sound like a dream trip. I had to comment though because NEXT time…if there is a next time…you need to get your oreo shakes at RD’s in Page instead of Sonic. They are DELISH!
This recipe looks yummy, i’ll have to try it out!
oh my lord…i just made something SO similar to this that I am posting tomorrow!! hilarious! Great minds…
Ouch. That’s defo the kind of trip that tests patience. You got through it though – and happily!! This recipe looks amazing too!
i would totally go for the frosting – with a spoon!
Three weeks ago, we had quite the similar adventure at Powell, minus the stitches, plus a tent and much, much wind. We did leave early because 45 mph winds and camping on the beach really don’t mix. The vomit in the sleeping bag had to have been my least favorite part.
But we too had lots of good food, and some fun, when the wind wasn’t blowing.
And these brownies might just be the death of me, because I just started Insanity, and have decided I need a lot less of your sweet treats if I want to look somewhat decent in a swimsuit come September. But I am making a list and when I am all done……..
Oh man sweetie! Doesn’t sound fun at all! Crazy about the landslide! We had crazy cold weather, not our best trip either…
Hi Christy! I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your recipes!! I just started my blog, littlegirlbigtaste.com, yesterday and I hope you get a chance to check it out!! 🙂
Yikes, sorry to hear about your vacation hiccups! Hope everyone is feeling tip top.
These brownies look divine, thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness! One thing after another on your vacation, eh? So glad you have a smart husband and that your kids are alright! These brownies look so tasty. Love the recipe!
Umm, these brownies look amazing. That frosting. I’ve gotta make it!
I’m so glad you guys stuck around even after all of the “incidents”. Miss you guys already.
Oh my. I’m glad everyone is safe and well in the end.
What a trip. So glad that you had a blast despite all of the crazy events. These look incredible. I made your oreo pudding cookies and they have become a family favorite. Thanks! I must try these.
I think Ill just make the icing and eat it with a spoon.
The brownies sound fantastic, the vacation sounds like a nightmare! I guess we don’t live adventurously enough to have those kinds of stories to tell!!
I’m glad you’re all home safe! I’ve definitely had vacations like that with my family, and I still have the scars on my knees to show it.
Those treats looks so yummy…Oreo bliss!

Great looking brownies. Now I want one and I haven’t even had breakfast yet.
Sorry about that vacation! But…I’m totally making these brownies for my best friend for her b-day. They look awesome!
I know this must’ve been such a hard week! I read your posts all the time (you have such good recipes!), and I couldn’t stop laughing-out-loud while reading this. Sorry, but it sounds like my life, retold. I hope everything’s back to normal.

These brownies sound amazing and that frosting is over the top!
OMG! Friend! What a trip. Definitely full of memories!
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that takes up the full fetal position when blood and drama happens with my kiddos. I can handle other kids injuries but my own kids blood sends me into a panic!!
