I found these last night on the Baking Bites Blog. I've been craving them ever since. They look and sound positively sinful! Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
6 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
3 cups sugar |
1/2 tsp salt |
2 tsp vanilla extract |
4 large eggs, room temperature |
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
3 cups roughly chopped peppermint oreo cookies (approx 18) |
4 extra oreo's crushed up for sprinkling on the top |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and grease lightly.
2. In a medium-large saucepan over low heat, melt together butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally.
3. Whisk in sugar, salt and vanilla, then turn off heat.
4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, waiting until each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Stir in flour and cocoa powder until mixture is uniform.
6. Stir in peppermint Oreo cookies and pour batter into prepared pan.
7. Crush 4 additional cookies finely and sprinkle on top of batter, if desired.
8. Bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not coated with batter.
9. Cool brownies in pan for about 20 minutes, then lift brownies in the foil out of the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
10. Why is it you'll have a certain ingredient around forever, but the second you use it, you find a better use for it? That's what happened to me last night when I found these babies! I used my mint Oreo's in a pie crust for a homemade chocolate pudding pie yesterday! Argh!
