Gotta Start Her Early! =)

So I found this recipe online and being the sweet lover I am, I just had to try it. Huge mistake. It will take the rest of my couch to 5k program for me to feel better about eating these. Chocolate is my weakness. These are absolutely delicious and I highly suggest them! 

Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Knock your socks off Brownie bars 

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips
•  1 package of oreo cookies (she used double stuffed, I opted for the “diet” version and used regular)
• 1 package of brownie mix (to be prepared as directed on the box) I used Ghiradelli

Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 9X13″ pan with parchment paper

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs followed by vanilla and mix well.

Add the flour, baking soda and salt and continue to beat until well combined.

 Fold in the chocolate chips.

Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan.

Now place the oreos on top of the cookie dough.  Surprisingly enough, there are just enough oreos to top the whole thing! 

Prepare brownie batter as directed (I didn’t even wash out my mixer bowl…just scrape the cookie dough clean and move on!)

Pour brownie batter on top and smooth it around with a spatula.

Bake for 40-50 minutes.  They should look slightly under baked.  The edges will likely puff up and dry out a bit but you can trim them off afterwards and still have way more than enough gooey chocolatey squares to go around!

 (Then eat nothing but green vegetables for a full 24 hours!)

Enjoy!
