Brown Butter Oreo Blondies

Elevating Milk's Favorite Cookie 🍪🥛

Prepare yourselves, fellow bakers, for a delightful twist on a classic. We're taking milk's favorite cookie, the beloved Oreo, and giving it a starring role in our Oreo Blondies. Brace yourself for an irresistible fusion of flavors, textures, and pure cookie joy!

Ingredients:

- 2/3 cup unsalted butter

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1 egg

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- 10-12 Oreo cookies, crushed

- 1 cup white chocolate chips

- Additional Oreo cookies for topping

Let's Dive In:

1. Butter Brilliance:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan over low heat, brown 2/3 cup of unsalted butter until it turns a beautiful golden brown. This step adds a nutty depth to our blondies. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.

2. Sugar Sweetness:

Combine the browned butter with 1 cup of brown sugar. This dynamic duo forms the heart of our blondies. Mix them until you have a velvety, caramel-like mixture.

3. Egg-citing Addition:

Add in one egg and a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is beautifully combined, and your kitchen is filled with the enticing aroma of vanilla.

4. Flour Fusion:

Incorporate 1 cup of all-purpose flour, along with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix; we want our blondies to be tender and chewy.

5. Oreo Overload:

Now comes the star of the show—Oreo cookies! Crush 10-12 Oreos into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the batter. These delightful nuggets of cookie goodness will add a delightful crunch and chocolatey surprise to every bite.

6. White Chocolate Wonder:

Next, fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Their creamy sweetness complements the Oreo crunch beautifully, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors.

7. Bake to Perfection:

Press the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Top the batter with additional Oreo cookies, pressing them gently into the surface. This not only makes the blondies look amazing but also ensures each bite has a piece of that iconic cookie.

Bake in your preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. It's important not to overbake; we want our blondies to be wonderfully chewy.

8. Slice and Savor:

Once your Oreo Blondies have cooled slightly, slice them into squares and savor the blissful combination of browned butter, Oreo cookies, and white chocolate. They're an absolute delight that will have you reaching for seconds and thirds.

These Oreo Blondies are perfect for sharing with friends and family or indulging in your own cookie paradise. They're a testament to the magic that happens when you combine milk's favorite cookie with the irresistible charm of blondies.

So, gather your ingredients and get ready to embark on a sweet journey of flavor and nostalgia. Your taste buds will thank you, and your friends will be asking for the recipe. Enjoy! 🍪🥛😋
