Ingredients
•
1 cup unsalted butter
•
6 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
•
3 cups white sugar
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
4 large eggs, at room temperature
•
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•
3 cups roughly chopped chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
•
3 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®), crushed, or to taste
•
1/2 cup powdered sugar
•
3 teaspoons milk, or more as needed
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil.
2
Combine butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Turn off the heat.
3
Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in flour and cocoa powder until mixture is well combined. Fold in chopped cookies. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with crushed cookies.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs, about 35 minutes. Place on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl until mixture has reached a drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over the top of the brownies.
