Yup, that’s right. I went there, I put oreos in my brownies!
I know, in the past I’ve knocked the so-called “America’s favorite cookie” and I still haven’t changed my mind about not liking them that much......on their own. When I was a kid I thought they tasted like burnt cardboard with frosting in the center. Also, they aren’t exactly health food so I figure if it’s not something I’d enjoy eating, what’s the point?
I’m personally just not a huge fan of Oreos. Now, when you use them as an ingredient in something like, say, brownie cheesecake layer cookie bars!, it’s a whole different story. Yeah, that I can do, Yum!
See, it’s like the difference between wanting to use shortening in a recipe or eating it by itself. When I was really young we used to use shortening in frosting all the time because my grandma was a cake decorator. Of course, that was before we realized how unhealthy . Now I try to only use real butter or organic oils, but truth be told, there was a day that it went into all the fluffy stuff for our cakes.
Funny little story here -> I have to say that I’ve never gotten over my naive childhood misunderstanding of Crisco shortening's advertising. I’m not sure what the packaging looks like now, but once upon a time I had the letdown of a lifetime because the package showed fried chicken on it and it was not in the can. Right there, hopes and dreams crushed forever. Haha, then I tasted it in a spoonful thinking it was frosting once and....EWWWW! Haha, I've never repeated that mistake.
These bars are somewhere between a cookie and a brownie. Something that I find really completely awesome. They have a softer texture than a cookie but more bite than a brownie. Of course, then they’re stuffed with not only cheesecake, but chocolate sandwich cookies too! I’d say that’s pretty awesome. I got super close to adding peanut butter too, but then I realized how pretty they’d be if left just black and white. Next time though, peanut butter is so happening! I'm a huge fan of any nut butter!
I really think you just need to try these. If you aren’t a fan of packaged cookies like oreos either, than you can even just skip them. and double the cheesecake layer instead.
Have a great day and enjoy something delicious! XOXO

Woo-hoo so happy to see you back with your awesome recipe my friend! As usual your food looks simply heavenly!
STEEMFEST!!! Recipe plz!
Thanks for reading @progressivechef! I'm so glad to have your support and I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup butter (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3 cups all purpose flour
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
30 - 40 chocolate cream filled sandwich cookies (I used jojos)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and grease a 13x9 inch glass pan. Cream butter and sugar together in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with beater. Scrape sides of bowl, then add eggs and mix until combined. Add vanilla, soda, and salt, and cocoa until mixed well, then add flour one cup at a time and beat after each addition.
Scrape out mixer bowl into a medium bowl and save mixer bowl for making cheesecake layer. (Yay, for les dishes to wash) Divide dough in half and press one half into prepared pan. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until top starts to darken and looks somewhat dry; remove from oven and cool while you make cheesecake filling.
Beat cream cheese in mixing bowl with whisk attachment until completely smooth and lump free, scrape bottom of bowl and mix longer to be sure it's all smooth. Add sugar and mix until creamed, then beat in egg. Add vanilla, cream, and salt; mix until combined.
Lay Jojos (or oreos if you must) in a single layer on top of the cooled cookie layer. (You can leave a few small gaps in between any odd corners.) Pour filling over cookie layer and crumble remaining half of chocolate dough over top. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the center of bars is lightly browned on top. Remove and cool for about 30 minutes then place pan in fridge and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Thanks so much for the recipe my friend, definitely one to try...not sure it will be as lovely as yours though!

Mmm.. your posts make me want to marry food.
Brownie and Oreos combined... Bold, decadent, rich... If only you could email there things.
Also... There are many different kinds of nut butter? I thought there just peanut butter and sunflower seed butter.
Haha, well that's a sweet proposal @jenkinrocket! Oh, and yes there are so many kinds of nut butter! Should I share a recipe for one soon?
Uhh... Yes? Lol. The whole thing is just sort of interesting.
wow it's vary nice..... good you photo shoot.....& glad to you.....nice post to us
So happy you like it @mahfug716! Thanks!
offcourse....& ..... thanks for replie comment to me
Ah! I've missed your posts of food gloriousness and am so glad you are back, but I hope you had a ton of fun at Steemfest😊
Your Crisco story killed me, I got in trouble once for using my grandma's entire can. I built a water slide out of a two hundred foot hay tarp and smeared the crisco all over the tarp so we'd slide faster. LOL, worth it!
Those Oreo stuffed creations of yours need to find their way onto a platter near me, they look divine!!
Haha, well it makes me so happy that you can relate to my story @generikat and thanks for the support! I DID have a great time at Steemfest but I also am happy to be back to sharing my food posts!
Oh, very delicious my dear, could you send me some to Germany ...
But at the latest when you visit Germany and visit Dresden, then I would be happy to meet you once :) 😉
Oh, that would ne wonderful to meet @chrissysworld! Thanks for reading and I do have plans to travel there sometime so we should truly meet-up!
I would be very happy, it would be an honor ♡
That made me hungry :D
Haha, yes brownies do that. Thanks @skysnap!

I just not know what more I text ... I think if I eat it all... this say a lot :)
Excellent post, I invite you to visit my blog
Thanks
Ok, those look ridiculously delish! Next steemfest I'm showing up with a bag of ingredients and securing an oven for use.....video blog the baking!
Yeah, my Dad and I were just talking about this. Next year, we have to make a food cooking event happen. I'll be talking to @roelandp and see if we can start the planning
I don't necessarily think the Oreos have that odd flavor, BUT... I do remember the generic "sandwich cookies" that my school used to give us, tasting just as you described....burnt cardboard. I'm not a brand name snob by any means, but there are somethings that are just left best to Nabisco to take care of. LOL BTW: your brownie/cookie looks amazing....not that it's surprising. :)
Very nice compliment @adayat523, thanks so much!!
great yammy...... my dear...... sowas wünsche ich mir bei deinem besuch in Dresden
Thanks @homeartpicures. I may have said this before, but my parents have been to Dresden and they say it is gorgeous. I want to go someday soon

Looks really really tasty! Great photos as usual and thanks for the recipe ^_^
Always so sweet @silviabeneforti, thank you so much!
These brownies should be illegal! So, to keep all other Steemians safe, I'll just be confiscating and eating all the brownies. LOL! I'm seriously going to veganize this recipe and try it for the holidays.
Love your posts! Keep them coming!
wow, what a team player. You have a big heart - LOL
veganize it up all you want, that would be great. In fact, if you want, recreate these however you want, and I will help you promote it. Just make sure to include a link to my post and add the tag #gringalicious. Make sure to contact me thru steemit.chat so I know you've posted and I'll do what I can to get your post promoted.
O.M.G. Why haven't I thought of this before? Amazing idea, will definitely try it 😋
You're too sweet, thanks so much @lolzwithlisa
Hopefully there is not a lot of text :D I could look at all your pictures and get hungry :D Yummy !!
Hope you are well back and have met your little Queen :-)

Yes, I have made it home safe and sound and I have met the little queen and all is well. You're such a sweet heart @roxane. I am so glad I got lost with you that day and we had the opportunity to get to know one another.
