- 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

- 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips
- Additional Oreo cookies for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. - Make the Brownie Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. - Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. - Prepare the Cookies and Cream Layer
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and white chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed Oreo cookies. - Assemble the Brownies
Pour the cookies and cream mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it into an even layer. Press additional Oreo cookie pieces on top for decoration. - Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the brownies for 1–2 hours, or until the topping is set. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
