Cook's Notes: These Brookies are rich, fudgy, and decadent bars made with half brownie and half cookie. Easy to make with basic pantry ingredients, this is the ultimate way to enjoy your two favorite sweet treats in one! So easy and fun to make.
Go rogue switch up M & M's color to green, use mint flavored Oreo cookies, and viola you have now created Mint Brookies for a St. Patrick's Day Treat.

Because these Brookies have two separate batters they need to be baked for 40 minutes total. When the cookies start to turn golden on top you know they are done. They will seem soft straight from the oven but will stiffen as they cool.

Ingredients:

• 1 Ghirardelli brownie box mix or your favorite one
• Ingredients needed for brownie mix as per instructions on the box
• 10 Oreos broken into large pieces
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup Red, Pink, and White M & M's for garnish

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9 x 9 pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with baking spray.
• Make brownies according to package directions and pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Break up Oreos by hand and place them randomly on top of the brownie layer.

• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, and two types of sugars until blended. Add egg and vanilla and mix. Add flour mixture in two or three additions and mix thoroughly until blended.
• The mixture will be thick. Stir in chips.
• Divide dough into several parts, flatten it, and lay randomly on top of the Oreo cookie layer.

• Pat down slightly. Cookie dough does not have to completely cover brownie and Oreo cookie layers as you can allow brownie and cookie pieces to "peek" through.
• Press M & M's into the top of the cookie batter and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set and a toothpick comes out fairly clean.
• Allow cooling before cutting them into approximately 24 bars.
