Yes, this is me hopping on the food trend bandwagon, baking up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough topped with Oreos and brownie batter, cheekily named Slutty Brownies. (How could I not, especially with Valentine’s Day coming up?) But most of the slutty brownie recipes I’ve come across call for cookie and brownie mixes, or tubes of dough, and there’s no reason not to make them from scratch. After all, if I’m going to have chocolate chip cookies and brownies baked into one bite, I want them to be the real thing. When it comes to cookies and brownies, nothing beats homemade!
Yes, I used Oreo knockoffs. You could skip the Oreo layer altogether – mine sort of melted into the brownie layer – and you’d just have double decker chocolate chip cookie brownies. Nothing wrong with that!
Don’t let the ingredient list freak you out – it’s pretty simple to mix up a batch of chocolate chip cookie batter, then brownie batter, and bake them together. You can even use the same bowl.
