What are Slutty Brownies?
The intriguing name “Slutty Brownies” comes from their famously irresistible and indulgent nature, implying they’re too good to resist – a little bit “naughty” in the best possible way! This viral dessert sensation combines three beloved treats into one spectacular bar: a buttery chocolate chip cookie layer, a classic Oreo cookie layer, and a rich, chocolatey brownie layer. It’s the ultimate fusion dessert, offering a delightful interplay of textures from chewy to crunchy to fudgy, all in one bite. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply satisfying a serious sweet tooth, these layered brownies are a crowd-pleaser that effortlessly blends homemade taste with incredible convenience.
Effortless Slutty Brownie Recipe for Ultimate Indulgence
This Slutty Brownie recipe is truly a game-changer when it comes to creating a show-stopping dessert with minimal effort. Requiring just a handful of primary ingredients, primarily boxed baking mixes and a package of your favorite sandwich cookies, the process is streamlined and stress-free. I’ve refined this recipe to ensure maximum flavor and optimal texture, adding extra chocolate chips to both the cookie dough and brownie batter for an intense burst of fudgy chocolate in every bite. To elevate the indulgence even further, I highly recommend using Double Stuf Oreos – their extra creamy filling adds another layer of decadent richness that truly sets these brownies apart. The entire preparation takes approximately 10 minutes, and in under an hour, you’ll have a pan of these irresistible layered treats ready to cool and enjoy. It’s a foolproof method for a dessert that tastes completely gourmet!
Pro Recipe Tip: Ingredient Consistency Matters!
For the most consistent and delicious results, I specifically recommend using a Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie mix and a Great Value 9×13 family-size brownie mix. The precise ratios and hydration levels of these specific brands contribute to the perfect layering and texture in this recipe. While other brands of cookie or brownie mixes can certainly be used, be aware that you might experience slight variations in consistency or baking time. Always check the package instructions for your chosen brands and adjust liquid ingredients (like milk or butter) for the brownie batter accordingly to achieve a pourable but not overly thin consistency.

- ½ cup salted butter melted (1 stick)
- 1 large egg room temperature
Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Layer
- 14.3 ounces Double Stuf Oreos (1 package)**
Brownie Layer
- 18.3 ounces brownie mix (1 box)***
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ¼ cup salted butter melted (½ stick)
- ¼ cup milk
Equipment
- Kitchen Scale (optional, for precise measurements)
- 9×13 Baking Pan
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls (medium x2)
- Rubber Spatula
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by lining it completely with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This overhang will act as “handles” to easily lift the brownies out of the pan once they’re baked and cooled, ensuring clean cuts. Set the prepared pan aside for later.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 17.5 ounces (1 bag) of chocolate chip cookie mix with an additional ¼ cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly mix these dry ingredients together. This extra touch of chocolate ensures a richer, more indulgent cookie layer.17.5 ounces chocolate chip cookie mix,

1 large egg - Carefully press the prepared cookie dough evenly into the bottom of your parchment-lined baking pan. The dough might be a bit sticky, so lightly floured fingers or a wet rubber spatula can help tremendously in spreading it smoothly and evenly across the base without it sticking to your hands. Ensure it forms a solid, compact layer.
- For the irresistible chocolate sandwich cookie layer, open your 14.3-ounce package of Double Stuf Oreos. Arrange them closely in neat rows over the pressed cookie dough layer, creating an even blanket of cookies. You might need to break a few Oreos into smaller pieces to fill any gaps and ensure the entire surface is covered.14.3 ounces Double Stuf Oreos
- Once both the cookie and Oreo layers are complete in the baking pan, set it aside while you prepare the brownie batter. This pause ensures the layers are ready for the final topping.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, empty the 18.3 ounces (1 family-sized box) of brownie mix. Add the remaining 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips to the dry brownie mix. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir them together, distributing the chocolate chips throughout the mix evenly.18.3 ounces brownie mix,

¼ cup milk - Carefully take your prepared brownie batter and gently pour it over the layer of sandwich cookies in the baking pan. Take your time to spread the batter evenly, ensuring the entire cookie layer is covered. Use your spatula to delicately smooth the top into an even layer, being careful not to disturb the Oreo layer underneath too much.
- Place the baking dish into your preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top of the brownies has set and a toothpick inserted into the center (making sure to avoid the cookie and Oreo layers) comes out clean or with moist crumbs, indicating they are perfectly fudgy.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Slutty Brownies to cool completely on a wire rack. This is a crucial step for achieving perfectly fudgy brownies and clean, neat slices. Cooling will take approximately 30-60 minutes, or even longer depending on your kitchen’s temperature. Resist the urge to slice them warm, as they will be too soft and crumble. Once fully cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab of brownies from the pan, place on a cutting board, and slice into 24 squares for the best results!
Notes for Perfect Slutty Brownies
**While Double Stuf Oreos are my top choice for their enhanced creaminess and indulgent feel, any variety of Oreo cookies will work beautifully. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different limited-edition Oreo flavors to add a unique twist to your Slutty Brownies!
***It is essential to use a family-size box of brownie mix (typically 18.3 ounces) for this Slutty Brownies recipe to ensure adequate coverage of the Oreo layer. Be aware that brownie mixes labeled “fudgy” and “chewy” may have slightly different liquid requirements. Always check the specific instructions on the back of your chosen brownie box. You might need to add slightly more or less milk and butter than indicated in my recipe notes, depending on the recommended consistency for your brand. Aim for a batter that is thick but still pourable.
Storage: To maintain optimal freshness and flavor, store your Slutty Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you wish to extend their shelf life, they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, these brownies freeze wonderfully! Wrap individual squares tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then let them come to room temperature or gently warm in the microwave for a just-baked taste.

How to Craft Your Slutty Brownies: A Detailed Step-by-Step Guide
Creating these irresistible Slutty Brownies is a straightforward process, but following these detailed steps will ensure your layers are perfect and your brownies are as decadent as can be.
Gather Your Ingredients and Prep
Before you begin mixing, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready. This mise en place approach makes the baking process incredibly smooth. Make sure your butter is melted and your eggs have reached room temperature, as this helps them incorporate better into the mixes, creating a smoother batter and dough.
Prepare the Chocolate Chip Cookie Base
Begin by preheating your oven to a precise 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a generous overhang on the sides. This isn’t just for easy cleanup; it will be your lifting mechanism for effortlessly removing the entire brownie slab later. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the contents of one 17.5-ounce bag of chocolate chip cookie mix with an additional ¼ cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Stir them together well using a rubber spatula to ensure the extra chips are evenly distributed throughout the mix, guaranteeing a chocolatey bite in every part of the base.
Mix and Press the Cookie Dough
Pour ½ cup of melted salted butter and one large room temperature egg into the cookie mix. Using your rubber spatula, mix these ingredients thoroughly until a sticky, yet uniform cookie dough forms. It’s important not to overmix at this stage; just combine until there are no dry pockets. Then, carefully press this prepared cookie dough into the bottom of your parchment-lined pan. To prevent the sticky dough from adhering to your hands, lightly flour your fingers or dampen your spatula with a little water. Spread the dough evenly across the entire base of the pan to form a solid, flat layer.
Layer the Oreo Cookies
Next, it’s time for the iconic chocolate sandwich cookie layer! Open a 14.3-ounce package of Double Stuf Oreos (or your favorite variety) and arrange them tightly in rows over the pressed cookie dough. The goal is to cover the entire surface of the cookie layer as uniformly as possible. You might find it necessary to gently break a few Oreos into smaller pieces to fill any awkward gaps, ensuring a consistent crunchy layer in every bite of your finished brownie. Once the Oreo layer is complete, set the pan aside while you prepare the final brownie batter.
Prepare the Fudgy Brownie Batter
In a separate medium mixing bowl, pour in the contents of one 18.3-ounce family-sized box of brownie mix. Add 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips to this dry mix. Stir with a rubber spatula until the chocolate chips are evenly dispersed. This not only adds more chocolatey goodness but also helps to achieve that desired fudgy brownie texture.
Mix the Brownie Batter to Perfection
Now, incorporate the wet ingredients into your brownie mix. Add 2 large room temperature eggs, ¼ cup of melted salted butter, and ¼ cup of milk. Using your rubber spatula, stir diligently until all ingredients are well combined and no dry pockets of mix remain. The batter should be smooth and cohesive. Depending on your brownie mix brand, the consistency might range from a regular to a slightly thicker batter; both are perfectly fine as long as it’s uniform and pourable. Ensure you scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to integrate every bit of mix.
Pour and Bake
Carefully take your brownie mixture and gently pour it over the sandwich cookies in your baking pan. It’s crucial to pour slowly and evenly to ensure the brownie batter covers the entire cookie layer without displacing the Oreos. If needed, use your spatula to gently spread the brownie batter into an even top layer. Once smooth, place the baking dish into your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top of the brownie layer is set and a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding the cookie and Oreo layers below) comes out clean or with minimal moist crumbs, indicating a perfectly fudgy texture.
Cool and Serve for the Best Experience
The most challenging step after baking is patience! Once removed from the oven, allow the Slutty Brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30-60 minutes, or even longer. This cooling period is absolutely vital for the brownies to set properly, resulting in that incredibly fudgy texture and allowing for neat, clean slices. Attempting to cut them warm will lead to a crumbly, messy outcome. Once fully cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab of brownies from the pan. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice into 24 generous squares. Now they’re ready to be devoured!
Tips for Success & Creative Variations
Achieving the perfect batch of Slutty Brownies is easier than you think, especially with a few handy tips. Here are some pointers to ensure your brownies are always a hit, along with ideas for customizing them to your taste:
Mastering the Layers for Flawless Slutty Brownies
- Room Temperature Eggs: Always use room temperature eggs for both the cookie dough and brownie batter. This helps them emulsify better with other ingredients, resulting in a smoother, more uniform texture and a richer final product.
- Don’t Overmix: When preparing both the cookie dough and brownie batter, mix only until just combined. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to tougher, less tender brownies.
- Evenly Spread Dough: For the cookie dough base, use lightly floured hands or a wet spatula to press it evenly into the pan. This ensures a consistent bottom layer that bakes uniformly.
- Oreo Placement: Take your time arranging the Oreos. A tight, even layer ensures that every slice gets a good portion of the crunchy cookie goodness. Breaking a few to fill small gaps is perfectly acceptable.
- Gentle Brownie Batter Pour: When pouring the brownie batter over the Oreos, do it slowly and gently. Use the back of your spatula to lightly spread it, ensuring you don’t disturb the Oreo layer too much.
- The Toothpick Test: When checking for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie, being careful to avoid hitting an Oreo or the cookie layer. You want it to come out clean or with moist crumbs, not wet batter. This indicates a fudgy brownie that isn’t overbaked.
- Cool Completely: This cannot be stressed enough! Allowing the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack is crucial. It allows the layers to set properly, making them easy to slice cleanly and ensuring that signature fudgy texture. Trying to cut them warm will result in a crumbly mess.
- Clean Slices: Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab of brownies from the pan. Place them on a cutting board and use a large, sharp knife to cut into squares. For extra clean slices, wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between each cut.
Exciting Variations to Experiment With
- Cookie Dough Swaps: Instead of chocolate chip cookie mix, try sugar cookie mix, peanut butter cookie mix, or even oatmeal cookie mix for a different flavor profile.
- Oreo Flavor Adventures: The possibilities are endless! Beyond Double Stuf, consider using Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, Peanut Butter Oreos, or any seasonal/limited-edition flavors that catch your eye for a unique twist.
- Brownie Mix Boosters: Enhance your brownie layer with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), toffee bits, caramel swirls, or even a layer of miniature marshmallows during the last few minutes of baking for a s’mores-like effect.
- White Chocolate Drizzle: Once cooled, melt some white chocolate chips and drizzle them decoratively over the top of your sliced brownies for an elegant finish and an extra touch of sweetness.
- Espresso Kick: Add 1-2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder to your brownie batter for a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor that coffee lovers will adore.
- Salted Caramel Delight: Drizzle a layer of store-bought or homemade salted caramel sauce over the Oreo layer before pouring the brownie batter for an extra layer of decadence.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Slutty Brownies
Q: Can I make Slutty Brownies entirely from scratch?
A: Absolutely! While this recipe uses mixes for convenience, you can certainly make each layer from scratch. Use your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie dough recipe and a rich, fudgy brownie recipe. Just ensure the cookie dough is sturdy enough to form a base and the brownie batter is not too thin.
Q: Why are they called “Slutty Brownies”?
A: The name “Slutty Brownies” comes from their indulgent, over-the-top, and irresistible nature. They are often described as being so “decadent” and “sinful” that they’re hard to resist, hence the playful, cheeky name that gained popularity online.
Q: Can I use different sized baking pans?
A: This recipe is optimized for a 9×13-inch pan. Using a different size will alter the thickness of the layers and the baking time. If you use a smaller pan, the brownies will be thicker and require more baking time. A larger pan will result in thinner brownies that bake faster. Adjust baking time accordingly and keep an eye on the doneness.
Q: How can I tell if my brownies are fully baked?
A: The best way is the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie, making sure to go through only the top brownie layer and not hit the Oreo or cookie base. If it comes out clean or with moist crumbs (not wet batter), they are done. Avoid overbaking, as this can lead to dry brownies.
Q: Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?
A: Yes, absolutely! Feel free to add chopped walnuts, pecans, or even white chocolate chips to your cookie dough or brownie batter for extra flavor and texture. Just be mindful not to overcrowd the batter.
Q: How long do Slutty Brownies last?
A: When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, they will stay fresh for up to 4 days. In the refrigerator, they can last up to a week. They also freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months.
