Oreo-Stuffed Red Velvet Brownies ❤️🍫🍪

Layers of fudgy red velvet brownie, whole chocolate sandwich cookies, and creamy cheesecake filling—this dessert is made for serious sweet cravings! 😍 Every bite is rich, colorful, and packed with cookies-and-cream goodness.

Ingredients

For the red velvet brownie layers:

1 box red velvet brownie mix
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
¼ cup water
12 chocolate sandwich cookies

For the cream cheese layer:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place the red velvet brownie mix in a large bowl.
Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and water.
Stir just until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. Do not overmix.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and free from lumps.
Spread half of the red velvet batter evenly in the prepared dish.
Arrange the chocolate sandwich cookies in one layer over the batter.
Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookies.
Spoon the remaining red velvet batter over the cream cheese and spread it gently to cover.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into a brownie section comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing so the layers remain neat.
Quick Tips ✨

❤️ Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
❤️ Spread the final batter gently so the layers do not mix together.
❤️ Do not overbake if you want soft, fudgy brownies.
❤️ Chill the cooled brownies for 30–60 minutes for cleaner slices.
❤️ Wipe your knife between each cut for beautiful layers.

Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy them cold for a firm cheesecake texture, or warm one piece in the microwave for 8–10 seconds for a softer center. 🤎

Ingredients

For the red velvet cookies:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

For the cream cheese filling:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
How to Make Them
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla until smooth. Scoop 12 small portions onto a lined plate and freeze for 20–30 minutes. ❄️
Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
Add the egg, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix until evenly combined.
In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Chill for 20 minutes when the dough feels sticky.
Divide the dough into 12 portions. Flatten one portion, place a chilled cream cheese piece in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Seal completely and roll into a ball.
Arrange the cookies on a lined baking tray, leaving space between them.
Bake at 350°F or 175°C for 10–12 minutes. The edges should look set while the centers remain soft.
Cool on the tray for 10 minutes before moving them to a rack.
Quick Tips ✨

❤️ Seal every cookie carefully so the filling does not leak.
❤️ Use softened butter and cream cheese for a smooth texture.
❤️ Do not overbake—the cookies will continue setting as they cool.
❤️ Chill soft dough before shaping.
❤️ Enjoy slightly warm for the creamiest center!

Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let them sit at room temperature briefly or warm one in the microwave for 8–10 seconds before serving. 🤎
