Instructions
Get the oven and pan ready:
Turn on your oven and set it to 350°F (180°C).
Lightly coat an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the sides (this makes it easier to lift the brownies out later).
Spray or butter the parchment paper too, then set the pan aside.
Make the brownie batter:
Put the butter and chopped chocolate into a heat-safe bowl.
Place the bowl over a pot with a little simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). This setup is called a double boiler.
Stir now and then until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Take the bowl off the heat and stir in the sugar until well mixed. Let it cool down a bit.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the mixture and whisk until combined.
Add the cocoa powders, flour, and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix them in.
Stir in the chopped cookies.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake the brownies:
Put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Check if they’re done by sticking a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with wet batter, they need more time. If it has just a few moist crumbs, they’re ready.
Keep checking every 2 minutes if they’re not quite done yet.
Let them cool:
Take the pan out of the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before adding the next layer.
Make the cookies and cream topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream.
Microwave in short bursts of 20 to 30 seconds, stirring after each time, until the mixture is smooth (this should take about 2 minutes total).
Stir in the powdered sugar and chopped cookies.
Spread this thick mixture evenly over the cooled brownies. An offset spatula can help with this.
Store the brownies:
Once done, cover the brownies and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature.
They’ll stay fresh for 3 to 4 days.

Note
Use quality chocolate:
The better the chocolate, the richer your brownies will taste. Dark or semi-sweet chocolate works best.
Don’t overmix:
After adding the flour, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make brownies dense or tough.
Line your pan properly:
Leave some parchment paper hanging over the sides so you can easily lift the brownies out of the pan after baking.
Test for doneness:
Start checking the brownies at 25 minutes. You're looking for moist crumbs on the toothpick—not raw batter.
Let them cool completely:
The topping will spread much easier if the brownies are fully cooled. If they're still warm, the topping may melt or slide off.
Customize it:
Swap the chopped cookies with crushed pretzels, nuts, or different cookies (like peanut butter or mint) for a twist.
Storage tip:
Brownies stay freshest in an airtight container. You can also refrigerate them for a fudgier texture or freeze them for later.
