Ingredients – What you need for this brownie recipe

Butter

Butter is essential to bind but also to give that buttery flavor we love. For this recipe, you will need 3/4 cup of butter that is softened at room temperature. Unsalted butter is best for this recipe so you can control the flavor.

Salt

Because you are using unsalted butter this is where you can control the flavor. You will only need 1/2 teaspoon is all you need to cut through the sweetness.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar will help to give that chewy texture we know and love when it comes to this recipe. it will also help to get that golden brown color. You only need 2 1/2 cups of it and it will produce incredible fudgy brownies.

Granulated Sugar

The white sugar will add a great deal of sweetness to these decadent brownies. You don’t need as much granulated white sugar as you do brown sugar, just 1/2 cup, but it is enough to make these sweet and delicious.

Eggs

You need three eggs for this recipe. As these have a brownie texture they will be more fluffy and light and the eggs will help to bind and get the best texture for this delicious brownie recipe. The egg yolk will help with the golden color.

Vanilla extract

You can’t go wrong with the vanilla flavor when it comes to brownies. While the golden oreos have a vanilla flavor this will help to enhance that throughout every bite. You need 1 tsp for this recipe.

Flour

When it comes to dry ingredients this is one of the staples you will find in most baking recipes. Flour provides the base and structure for this recipe. We like to use all-purpose flour and you will need 1 1/2 cups. When measuring the flour make sure it is sifted before adding it to the other ingredients.

Baking Powder

As this has a slightly different texture and is a more substantial bite to it, the baking powder helps with the baking process and will enable that texture. You need 1 cup of baking powder for this recipe.

White chocolate chips

You can’t go wrong with adding chocolate to most sweet things, and the white chocolate works so well with the vanilla flavor and the Golden Oreos. You will need 1 cup of white chocolate chips.

Golden Oreos

Now the star of the show, the cookies that are in an elite category. These vanilla Golden Oreos are perfect with these brownies and add extra crunch with every bite. You will need around 15-20 Golden Oreos.

Bake in the oven for 35 minutes until the brownies are set. Be careful when removing the brownie from the tin you will want to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. Let them cool on a wire rack before cutting.
