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.

Has anyone had the patience to freeze these for a future party? I am trying to plan ahead not to have to do everything at the last minute.
I've frozen them before - works like a charm
Thank you for the response it will save me some time.
Hi,
can i put these in the freezer for like 20 mins after baking to cool them faster? and then put them in the fridge?
i am too impatient to wait a few hours to cut them
yes - absolutely!!
Just curious, why do you recommend not using a glass pan for this recipe? These look amazing, I can't wait to try them!
it alters the baking time and doesn't work quite as well
My family loved these. my husband loves chocolate chip cookies. Do you have a recipe for baking the cookie dough only?
He'll love these! https://whatsgabycooking.com/the-best-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Hi Gaby I live in the Uk, so 11/4 cups is pretty confusing to me
One and one-fourth cup
Sorry I posted the same thing twice. Opps
Is it possible to just us the brownie mix from the store? Or do you have to use the ingredients above?

These are so addictive - I have had around 5 slices and am going through withdrawal symptoms already...somebody make me more!! ...I am wondering if there is a secret ingredient which makes them so sublime? I am salivating at the sight of these pictures
If I eat any more, I fear I may turn into a slutty brownie :/
from an addict xoxo
If I make these in a 13x9 pan should I double the recipe. I am making them for a party tomorrow night.
you'd probably want to do the recipe by 1.5 rather than by 2! If you double it, you'll have a little too much cookie dough and brownie batter so you could just reserve some of that for later use if that's what you're into!
Hi Gaby, what about if I want to make these in muffin tins with 24 total. Do you think 1.5X would be enough as well?
yes!
Can I use store bought cookie dough and brownie mix?
absolutely! but it changes the quantity and baking time! Depends on which brands you buy
Hi! Making these for the first time. Can I make them the night before the event that I need them for? Will they still be good? Do they need to be refrigerated? Thanks!!
yes thats the best way to do it! refrigerate them overnight so they set and then slice before you need them!
I absolutely LOVE THIS RECIPE! All my friends and co-workers love them too. But every time I make these, I have to bake them for 50 minutes to an hour. It might be the recipes I'm using, I don't know. But I've just had some difficulty with the timing. Overall, these are the best treats I've ever made and had!
I too am having this problem. After 35 minutes the brownie part still isn't done.
are you using the square metal pan or a glass pan?
I did them yesterday with a friend! they are delicious 🙂
This is the second time I've made them in 3 days!!! Your pictures convinced me to try these beauties. My son shared them with his friends the first time, and tonight, I'm bringing them to a potluck. It's a no-brainer sure-fire winner all around! I will use this recipe as my go-to dessert. My 9x9 accommodates 25 Oreos.
I usually use Jamie Oliver's brownie recipe to make brownies and that requires cocoa powder and chocolate so if I use that in this recipe will that make a huge difference? x
Yes, it will because it's more about the quantity of brownie batter to cookie ratio - and I'm not sure what Jamie's recipe yields.
Hi Gabby, I want to make these but don't have any ap flour for the brownies, i have self rising, if I follow your brownie recipe, will there be an issue because i used self rising instead of ap?
Hey Trina! I have never tested it with self rising flour, only all purpose, so I don't know how it would affect the recipe. But, this might help you if you use it: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2015/09/09/substitute-self-rising-flour-purpose-flour/
LMK what happens!
