Ingredients
Method
Step 1 — Mix Butter & Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until combined.
Step 2 — Whip Eggs for Crackly Top
- Add the eggs and egg yolks. Whisk for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture turns light and off-white.
- (This step is key for that classic crackly brownie top!)
Step 3 — Add Oil & Vanilla
- Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4 — Add Dry Ingredients & Pan
- Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking soda until just combined.
- Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
Step 5 — Bake & Chill
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just slightly soft.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
- (This step helps prevent crumbling when slicing.)
Step 6 — Make the Oreo Frosting
- While the brownies chill, beat the room-temperature butter in a separate bowl until light and off-white. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and slightly thick.
- Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
Step 7 — Frost, Slice & Store
- Once the brownies are fully chilled, spread the Oreo frosting evenly over the top.
- Cut into 16 squares (4×4) and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
