Why I Love This Recipe
A few weeks ago I was perusing the interwebs, mainly pinterest, because it's my latest obsession and I spend an inordinate amount of time pinning things that I want to eat, and things that I want at my wedding. I'm not quite sure how people planned weddings before Pinterest. It's kinda the greatest invention of all times. But while I was knee deep in my wedding pinning extravaganza, I stumbled across something called Slutty Brownies, cheeky name..YES. Slightly different than the famous Knock You Naked Brownies I posted about last month.
You could easily make these with box mix, which is what the original recipe I found calls for, but I took it one step further and made these with my all time favorite rich chocolate-y brownie recipe and my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. The Oreo in the middle may seem slightly out of place because you might think it's going to be this crunchy layer between two super soft and chewy layers, but let me reassure you that it's not. The Oreo kind of soaks up a bit of moisture from the brownie batter and cookie dough and just adds that extra bit of fabulousness.
What is a Slutty Brownie?
Clearly these caught my attention immediately. Slutty Brownies are the brilliant creation of The Londoner and they are basically it's a SUPER POWERED brownie made with layers of cookie dough, oreo cookies, and then a rich and decadent brownie layer. They are EVERYTHING. Seeing as how I'm a private chef, I made them for every single person in my life, including Jessica Simpson who is my current private chef client, and when asked on Leno what made them slutty she replied.. it's because a lot of things go into them. GENIUS.
Make Slutty Brownies immediately, they'll change your life. The first 2 times I made these, I cut them right away to serve them and they kinda fell apart a bit since they were still crazy warm, and that's totally one way to go. If you're serving them fresh out of the oven, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream just for another layer of decadence and serve away. If you're going to let them sit for a few hours, you'll get a super gorgeous cut square and can grab it and go. Either way, they are awesome.
Substitutions and Variations
Like I said above the original recipe calls for box brownies. My recipe uses homemade brownies. If you are in a time crunch or want to simply the recipe by all means use box brownies.
If you really want to simplify you could also use premade cookie dough, something along the lines of toll house etc.
For holidays I like to swap out plain Oreos with the seasonal Oreos. Example: Orange ones for Halloween, Red and Green ones for Christmas, etc.
I have also been known to make Slutty Blondie Brownies and Smores Slutty Brownies

Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 10 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup flour
For the Oreo Layer:
- 1 package of Oreo regular stuffed or double stuffed
For the Cookie Layer:
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temp
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
How to Make Slutty Brownies
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat. Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined.
Step 2: Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.
Step 3: Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the egg and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
Step 4: 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.
Step 5: Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom of the slutty brownies. Layer as many oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough. No need to overlap. One single layer will do.
Step 6: Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer and make sure it's evenly layers on top.
Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife comes out clean, let the brownies rest for at least 2 hours before serving. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more. Slice and serve.
Storage
The easiest way to store these treats is to leave them in the baking pan and cover with some tin foil and refrigerate.
However you can also take them out the pan and put them in your favorite glass ware storage containers and refrigerate or freeze.
Tips and Tricks
- This is the pan I bake these in - it's a 9x9 square pan from Amazon and it's the best. It's a non-stick square pan - which is what you need. A glass pan or a pan of another size won't yield the same results as the photos here.
- Cool the slutty brownies once they come out of the oven for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving if you want perfect square pieces.
- You can use any kind of Oreos you want - double stuffed, regular, flavored, birthday cake, red velvet etc
- IF you use a box mix for the brownie layer, you won't want to use the entire batter as it yields more than my homemade brownie recipe. You just want to have enough brownie recipe to cover the oreos on the top layer.

Nutrition Information
Thanks for the reminder! I made these a couple of months ago and they were awesome, even if I got the oven temperature conversion wrong. I'm waiting for the weather to cool before trying them again, although I want to make the slutty blondie brownies. I haven't seen golden Oreos in the UK, so I'm going to go with a British favourite, custard creams. I'll let you know how I get on. I might also try another British favourite, Bourbon creams, instead of the Oreos.
Just thought I'd drop a little hint here that might help some of you who are like me with a decision you might consider having to make when making this.
When you're layering the brownies and you notice those little gaps between the Oreos, you might wonder what could go there. For that matter you might have wondered how delicious the brownies might be with Reese's Cups instead of Oreos.
Well... you don't actually have to make a choice. Reese's Miniature Cups fit perfectly in those gaps between the Oreos. Be warned though... you'll want to have a cup of water handy to drink after eating such a creation. Especially if you like a side of Oreo ice cream with these 😉
I'm going to make these tonight. But here's the twist... I'm going to use peanut butter cookie dough instead! Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other!
Hi there,
These look amazing! Cannot wait to make them. I don't have a 9x9 pan. Can I use a 9x13 pan if I line it with extra cookie dough and use more oreos. Would I need to double the brownie recipe, too?
Thanks!
You can use a bigger pan for sure - just be sure to bake them for a few minutes longer as it will take longer for the center to cook since it's in a larger pan 🙂
And yes, I'd double the brownie recipe!! Or you could make it times 1.5 and that would probably be perfect
Hi, I have one more question: can we use a glass pan if we don't have a 9x9 brownie pan, or should we just go with an 8x8 brownie pan?
I'd go with the 8x8 brownie pan - just because the glass pans tend to bake a little differently!
Hi Gaby!
I found this on Pinterest and I want to make them today! They look sooooo good! I just have one question: to save time I'll be using boxed brownie and cookie dough mixes, but how do I know how long to cook them for? Is it different when using a box mix? Or do I just look at how long the brownies take to cook and go by that?
Thanks!!

Hi Christina! The recipe baking time will be similar, but just keep an eye on them while they are in the oven so you don't over bake them! I'd say they will take a bit longer as there is more brownie batter in a box mix that the recipe I have 🙂
Let me know how you like them!
Thanks!! I can't wait to make them!
I have yet to make these... I plan to do so in approximately 2 hours. 🙂 I'm extremely curious, for all of you with youngsters at home, do you keep the name of the brownie when telling them what they are? Do you tell your kids "Hey, would you like a slutty brownie?" or do you knock it down to a PG rating and just call them "cookie brownies" or some variation. The human interactions of this particularly sinful treat intrigues me. 🙂
I vote for Cookie Brownies!!!
Double cookie brownies
Let's just go for (dirty brownie)(messy brownie)
Brookies!!
I've made these before, and I want to make a 13x9 pan. What would the conversions for that size pan be?
I was watching Don't Be Tardy with Kim Zolciak (from Real Housewives of Atlanta) and on the most recent episode, they were making Slutty Brownies! I was totally wondering if they were using your recipe and thought of you! I hope they were! 🙂
woohoooo!!! were they making them from box mix or scratch!! xoxo
I'he made these a few times before and my friends go absolutely CRAZY for them!!
yayyyyy
Fell in love with these. 3 layers of my favorite. My best friend and I are making these tomorrow!! *excited*
Made these last weekend for my hubby's birthday. I didn't have any Oreos so I used peanut butter cups. I also don't have a 9x9 pan so I used my 8x8. They fit but they were a little thick. The end result was delicious though. I''ll definitely be making these again.
oh my gawd! I love these! how did I miss this the first time?!
I made these last year for my sister-in-law's homecoming. Everyone raved at how sinfully delicious they were. I still receive constant requests for more. Yummy.
Hi Gaby! Can you recommend a substitute for the eggs? I'm not too keen on using applesauce because I did once and it made my cake very (for want of a better word) squishy -.- I was thinking maybe baking soda+some water. Any ideas? This looks incredible and I can't wait to try it! Thanks 🙂
Hi Bhavna,
Unfortunately I've never done any experimenting with egg substitutes so I can't recommend something that I 100% know will work. Sorry I can't be of more help.
