directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the sugar until glossy and smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and gently fold until just combined.

Fold in half of the chopped Oreos into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Press the remaining Oreos on top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
