Ever since Rosie from The Londoner posted a recipe for Slutty Brownies I have wanted to make them but I always get distracted and forget about them. I made them yesterday but instead of using packets like Rosie’s recipe, I made both the cookie dough and the brownie batter from scratch. Since you’re going to have to stir in the eggs and water if you use packets anyway you might as well do it all properly, it’s just as quick!
Step 1: Cookie Dough
- 115g butter, room temperature
- 175g light brown sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 200g plain flour
- 50g chocolate chips
Mix the butter and sugar, then mix in the egg, water, oil and vanilla extract. Once combined mix in the bicarbonate of soda, flour and chocolate chips. (If you want to use this recipe to make cookies, leave out the oil and water). Smooth the dough into the bottom of your lined baking tray (mine was 30cm x 20cm).
Step 2: Oreo layer
Open packet. Arrange Oreos!
Step 3: Brownies
- 200g dark chocolate
- 175g butter
- 325g caster sugar
- 130g plain flour
- 3 medium eggs
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted and smooth, remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, then stir in the flour and finally the eggs. Pour the batter over the cookie dough/Oreos.
Step 4: Bake!
Bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes at 170-180 degrees.
Step 5: Enjoy!

Be prepared to have a lie down after eating one of these, they are seriously naughty! I think next time I make them I will double, or at least half again, the amount of cookie dough to have a thicker cookie layer – if you do, don’t double the oil and water, a teaspoon of each will still be fine. Coincidentally I have started doing the 30 Day Shred again today. I was planning to start it again anyway, but after eating some of these brownies I feel like I need to do it!
Talking of brownies, if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram you will know that I made bacon brownies for my fiancé's birthday last week. I urge you NOT to make bacon brownies. Don’t do it. Nigella’s recipe for brownie batter is the weirdest I have ever tried, it’s just chocolate sponge. And the texture of the bacon was just too weird. The taste was fine, we all know salt and chocolate is amazing, but chunks of meat in my cake? Just no.
To make up for this atrocity I am going to make salted caramel brownies. I’ve got some condensed milk and some lovely Fleur de Sel so will keep you posted on how they turn out!
