how to make Best Ever Brownies
Ingredients :
- 1 package Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 10 to 14 Oreo cookies
Directions :
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare the brownie mix as directed with the egg, oil, and water. Coarsely crush the Oreos in a large bag with your hands or a rolling pin, leaving some pieces big. Pour the crushed Oreos into the batter and mix well. Pour the batter into a greased square baking pan (about 8 by 8) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the brownies; if it comes out mostly clean, it is done. When in doubt, underbake. For a bigger batch, double the recipe for a 9 by 13 pan. The texture will be similar to a regular brownie, and the Oreos will melt into the batter.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes.
- Cut into squares and serve.
