Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies…say what?

I recently saw this recipe for Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bars and I knew that Maisie would love making them so that’s how we spent a bit of time this afternoon.  The original recipe was really quite simple, make homemade chocolate chip cookie dough add Oreo cookies, top with a boxed brownie mix, bake and then try to distract yourself with activities or get out of the house long enough for the bars to cool.  I decided to simplify the recipe even further by using refrigerated Toll House cookie dough in lieu of making homemade and with that little change, making these outrageously decadent brownies was super simple and Maisie was able to do everything herself.

Happy little girl as there were a few extra cookies so she enjoyed a double-Double Stuff Oreo.

Finally cooled, the entire tray cut in half.

Close up baby!!

Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies  (adapted from here)

1 big batch roll refrigerated Toll House Cookie dough
1 pkg Double Stuff Oreo cookies
1 brownie mix for a 9x13-inch pan (eggs, oil and water as directed on the box)
Preheat oven to 350F.  Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and then line with parchment paper.  Spread the cookie dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan.  Add a layer of Oreo cookies. Mix together the brownie mix according to the directions on the box.  Pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough and Oreo layers. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Find some way to entertain yourself as you wait for the brownies to cool.  Cut into squares, grab a big old glass of milk and indulge.

Enjoy!!
