Scale
Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 ounces / 432 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (170 grams)
Texture Add-ins:
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10–12 cookies) (120 grams)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by greasing a 9×9-inch pan or lining it with parchment paper, then set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Create a smooth batter by whisking together the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and free of lumps.
- Enhance the mixture by gently incorporating white chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it uniformly to create an even layer that will bake consistently.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack, which helps set the texture and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, slice into square portions and serve, revealing the decadent cookies and cream red velvet interior.
Notes
- Customize the boxed mix by adding a splash of buttermilk or sour cream for extra moisture and tangy flavor.
- Try different Oreo varieties like double-stuffed or mint to create unique flavor profiles.
- Ensure even baking by rotating the pan halfway through cooking time and checking doneness with a clean toothpick.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
