HOW TO BROWN BUTTER FOR YOUR FIRST ‘SLUTTY BROWNIE’ LAYER
If you have never made browned butter before, don’t fret, it’s actually super easy and only takes a few minutes. What you are going to do is put 1 cup of butter in a sauce pan and place it on medium heat to melt nice and slow.
Once it melts it will slowly start to heat up eventually starting to bubble and them foam. This is when you want to start stirring the butter gently and continuously as it continue to get darker and darker until it turns a rich amber in colour (approximately 4-5 minutes).
NOTE: you want to stay close here so to ensure you don’t burn the butter. Keep stirring, keep the heat low and be patient, the magic will happen.
Once it’s that beautiful amber colour and you can really smell the nutty richness of the butter, remove it from the heat and transfer to a heat safe glass bowl or ramekin. Make sure to get all the little browned butter bits at the bottom as that is where a lot of the flavour lies!
I like to then let the browned butter cool down to room temperature by either leaving it on the counter for a half hour or placing it in the fridge for a few minutes.
Let your browned butter cool to room temperature before you began preparing your cookie dough.
HOW TO MAKE MY SLUTTY BROWNIES RECIPE
STEP 1: MAKE YOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH LAYER!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Butter your 9x9 Inch baking pan (if you are using non stick stoneware like I did, you can actually get away with not buttering your pan!)
Once the butter has cooled down to room temperature you can start preparing the first layer of your slutty brownie - the cookie dough layer!
The first thing you are going to do is combine your granulated sugar with your brown sugar in a large bowl. Next, pour in your room temperature butter and mix using a hand blender until the sugar crystals start to melt and combine with the butter to produce a golden amber colour. Apx 2 minutes.
Next add in one egg, on egg yolk and the vanilla, continue to blend for another 2 minutes.
In a separate, smaller bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) and using a whisk, give it a good mix.
Next, using a sifter, sift the dry ingredients in three or four parts into the wet ingredients bowl, mixing in between each time with you hand blender. Make sure to scrape the side of the bowl with a spatula to get all the goodness that builds up on the side.
Next add in your dark chocolate chips and coarsely chopped dark chocolate, and using your clean hands, mix the chocolate into the dough until evenly combined/distributed.
Transfer the cookie dough to your buttered 9x9 inch baking pan and using your fingers distribute an even layer of cookie dough across the bottom to create your first ‘slutty brownie’ layer.
Additional Step *optional - Some people like to bake their cookie dough layer a bit before proceeding to the next layer but personally I love a soft cookie and don’t think this is necessary. If you like more of a crunchy cookie base, feel free to bake the cookie dough layer for 8-9 minute to help it ‘set’ before continuing. If you decide to do this step you will need to let the partially cooked cookie dough cool on a wire rack for a bit before proceeding to the next layer.

STEP 2: ADD A LAYER OF OREO’S!
Once the cookie dough is nice and evenly spread out, add a layer of whole Oreo cookies on top of it.

STEP 3: MIX YOUR BROWNIE BATTER
Using a large microwave safe bowl or a large Ramekin, melt your roughly chopped chocolate and cubed butter together in the microwave using 20-second intervals. This usually doesn’t take more than 3 intervals or a total of 60 seconds but you can check/give the ingredient a mix to gauge consistency between intervals.
When the chocolate and butter are nicely melted/combined, add in your cocoa powder and sugar (if you melted the chocolate and butter in a ramekin, you will need to move it to a larger bowl) and blend together using your clean hand blender until well combined.
Next, add in your eggs and continue to combine with your hand blender
In a separate, medium size bowl, combine your dry ingredients (flour and salt), whisking them together until evenly combined before adding them to your wet ingredients in two to three parts. Continue to use your hand blender to combine everything and remember to scrape the side of the bowl with a spatula to get all the goodness that builds up on the sides. :)
Once well combined, pour the brownie batter on top of the cookie dough/Oreo’s layers, using your spatula to help spread the mixture out evenly.
Bake the entire pan for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs. When that happens you can remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the slutty brownies to cool completely before serving. If you want to make cutting the brownies up even easier you can refrigerate the brownies for a few hours before serving.

Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge in an air tight container for a week!
For a clean cut, let brownies cool completely before transferring to the fridge for a few hours.
