What Are Slutty Brownies?
If you’re thinking that “slutty” is a questionable name for a dessert, you’re probably not the only one. This popular brownie is originally credited to a blog named Kevin & Amanda, which published the original recipe for Cookie Dough Oreo Brownies in 2011. No salacious names, there!
The internet later renamed these triple-decker brownies “Slutty Brownies”. The attention-grabbing rebrand made the recipe go viral, becoming a favorite dessert of bloggers and celebrities alike.
What led them to be called slutty brownies? Well, to quote Jessica Simpson on the Jay Leno Show, “I guess a lot goes into them”. Ahem. 😆
Don’t let the scandalous name detract from the deliciousness of these brownies, though. They’re seriously incredible!
How to Make Slutty Brownies
There’s some serious chocolate going on in these brownies. They’re also so easy to make:
Make the Chocolate Chip & Oreo Cookies Layers
You’ll start by whipping up a quick batch of chocolate chip cookie dough, adding it to your pan and then topping it with a layer of Oreos.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. Begin by whisking together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until fluffy, then mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Combine. Next, combine the ingredients, and fold in the chocolate chips. Afterward, press the cookie dough into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Add Oreos. Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over top of the cookie dough.
Add the Chocolate Brownie Layer
Next, it’s time to prepare an easy brownie batter, and then get these brownies into the oven!
- Make the brownie batter. Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then sift the dry into the wet ingredients before stirring to combine.
- Add to the pan. Spread the brownie batter over the layer of Oreos.
- Bake. Bake your slutty brownies at 350ºF for 40-45 minutes. Check that the brownies are done by sticking a toothpick into the middle of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re ready to come out. Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Can I Use Brownie Mix?
Absolutely. If you’re in a pinch, you can make the brownie layer using your favorite boxed brownie mix instead. Just be sure to pick up any ingredients you’ll need to make the brownies as listed on the box. You can even make the chocolate chip cookie layer with store-bought refrigerated cookie dough, too!
Tips for the Best Slutty Brownies
Here are some additional tips for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie brownies:
- Can I use a different-sized pan? You can, but know that using a larger size, like a 9×13-inch baking pan, will yield thinner bars and may require a shorter baking time.
- For the fudgiest flavor in your brownies, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Using sweetened cocoa powder may result in overly-sweet brownies.
- It’s best to store brownies at room temperature, and not in the fridge. Brownies stored in the fridge have a tendency to dry out faster and become crumbly.
Variation Ideas
Try these fun and easy ways to change up the flavors in your slutty brownies:
- Peanut Butter Cups – Make a variation with peanut butter cookie dough and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
- Replace the Oreos – In place of Oreos, layer Golden Oreos. You can also try this recipe with Nilla Wafers, Chips Ahoy cookies, Graham crackers, or Maria Cookies.
- Different Cookie Dough – You can also replace the chocolate chip cookie dough layer with another type of cookie bar. Try it with sugar cookie bars, oatmeal cookie bars or even M&M cookie bars.
- Add Frosting – Add some vanilla buttercream or even peanut butter frosting on top.
Serving Suggestions
Slutty brownies are so easy to make and they’re always a hit at potlucks and parties. Try these fun and easy ways to serve homemade brownies:
- Warm with ice cream. A few seconds in the microwave is all it takes to turn these chocolate brownies into an ooey-gooey treat, perfect for topping with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzled with chocolate sauce.
- Make a brownie sundae. Combine both of the ideas above into a decadent brownie sundae, complete with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a cherry!
How to Store Slutty Brownies
To keep these slutty brownies soft and chewy, store them at room temperature, either tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or sealed inside an airtight container.
