Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Additional crushed cookies for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the crushed cookies.
Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Prepare the Frosting: In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle additional crushed cookies on top for garnish.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cookies and Cream Brownies!
