Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
16 Oreo cookies
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until glossy.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.
4. Mix in the cocoa powder and red food coloring until fully combined.
5. Fold in the flour and salt just until no dry streaks remain.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
7. Spread half of the red velvet brownie batter into the prepared pan.
8. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter.
9. Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cream cheese filling.
10. Cover with the remaining brownie batter and smooth the top.
11. Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm.
12. Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
Do not overbake the brownies, because the center will continue to set as they cool and that helps keep the texture soft and fudgy.
