Tips
- To make the brownie batter, beat eggs, cocoa, salt, baking powder, instant espresso, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar, then microwave gradually until sugar dissolves and is shiny. Combine the egg and butter mixtures well, then add flour and chocolate.
- To make the cookie dough, mix together the semi-cooled brown butter with the sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then fold the dry into the wet, then add chocolate chips.
- Save a few scoops of brownie batter for the top layer.
- Add last little bit of brownie batter and crushed Oreos on top of the cookie dough layer.
- Bake at 350 for approximately 35 minutes using a 9x9 inch pan.

- Layer the brownie batter, then a layer of Oreos, then the cookie dough, and finally the saved brownie batter and crushed Oreos for an optimal blend of flavors and textures.
- Using an ice cream scoop helps in portioning the batter evenly.
- Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution before combining with wet ingredients.
- Allowing the brown butter to semi-cool before mixing with sugars helps prevent the sugars from melting too quickly and allows for a better texture in the cookie dough.
