Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1-1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
2 cups chopped Mint Oreos (16 to 20 cookies)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees (180 C). Line a 13X9 inch metal pan with foil that extends beyond the pans edges on at least two sides and spray the foil with cooking spray. 2. In a large heavy duty pan over very low heat, melt the butter, chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate, stirring constantly. Remove pan from the heat before the chocolate is fully melted and continue to stir until it is melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly. 3. In a large mixing bowl stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and cool to room temperature. 4. Whisk 1/2 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl until it is well blended then add it to the cooled chocolate mixture. 5. In a medium bowl toss the chopped Oreos with the remaining 2 tablespoon of flour. (This is supposed to help prevent the Oreos from sinking to the bottom of the pan.) 6. Scrape the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. 7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 3 inches from the center comes out clean. Do not overbake! Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool, then cover the brownies and chill them in the refrigerator. 8. Lift slab of brownies from the pan and cut into desired size and shape. (Since these Outrageous Oreo brownies are rich, I like them cut into small squares.)
