Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
-
Mix sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
-
Whisk butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl. Add butter mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
-
Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out with a spatula. Add 16 OREOВ® cookies in an even layer (4 rows of 4 cookies), then spread the remaining 1/2 of the batter over top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown and center is set, 30 to 35 minutes.
-
Remove pan from the oven and set on a wire rack. Let brownies cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
-
Crush 12 of the remaining OREOВ® cookies. Place the whipped topping in a bowl and fold in the crushed cookies. Spread over the top of the brownies. Crush the remaining 4 cookies, then sprinkle over the top of the whipped cream mixture.
-
Keep refrigerated until you are ready to slice and serve.
