Slutty Brownies {Triple Threat}

When thinking of Slutty Brownies, visions of either chocolate brownies oozing with marshmallow creme or cookie dough bars screaming with melted chocolate come to mind.  I am not picturing cookie dough, oreos and chocolate brownies.  In my mind this should be called a Triple Threat…especially to my waist line!

Slutty brownies is all the rage on the internet these days, I don’t even know who to give credit too.  One of these days we will have someone’s Aunt Bertha getting into a fist fight with Sally Sue over bragging rights on who originated what recipe.  As I saw The Londoner getting credit on a few sites, I will give her credit as well.  Although I might be giving her credit for the concept, I do prefer my baked goods to be homemade. Yes, yes…I know I used a boxed brownie mix but I did at least use my own cookie dough recipe, and with whiskey to boot.

My husband did not rave about these brownies, but I find it hard to believe he didn’t like them as he went back for seconds and thirds and asked me to take the rest to work.  I say that is a good sign they are DELISH!!!

Slutty Brownies

Brownie Layer:

          -Duncan Hines Premium (13×9 size)

Oreo Layer:

-1 pkg regular Oreo’s

Cookie Dough Layer:

-1 cup unsalted butter (at room temp)

-1/2 cup brown sugar

-1 ½ cups white sugar

-2 eggs

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-1 ½ tsp whiskey

-2 ½ cups all purpose flour

-1 tsp salt

-1 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp baking powder

-2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Line a 13×9 pan with aluminum foil and spray with Pam, or any other baking spray. Set aside.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the Brownie layer: Make the brownies according to the back of the box (I prefer to use the chewy versus cake like brownies). Set aside.

For the Cookie Dough layer:

Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs, vanilla and whiskey, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. In small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and add to butter mixture, mixing on low until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.

Assembly:

Press the cookie dough onto the bottom of the 13×9 prepared pan, forming the base. You may have some extra.  Your choice- enjoy some wonderful raw cookie dough or save it to make chocolate chip cookies at a later time.

Layer the oreo cookies on top of the cookie base (one layer only), lining them up close so they are snuggling next to each other.

Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer, making sure that the oreos are covered and you can’t see any of the cookie base. It is very important that this layer is level to ensure even baking.

Bake 30-40 minutes. Test with toothpicks to see if the center is done. You don’t want the toothpicks to come out wet with batter, but if it comes out too clean then you risk ‘burning’ the brownies.  For my oven, they generally take 37 minutes.  Serve warm with ice cream or fully cool and cut into bars.
