Yeah, I know what you are thinking. What are slutty brownies and why in the world am I posting about them. I’m wondering the same thing myself, but oddly enough, that is the actual name.
This recipe uses layers of chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie, Oreo cookies, caramel and sea salt. The perfect decadent, sweet and salty easy slutty brownie recipe.
Slutty Brownies, Say What???
I came across these when I was looking for a stellar brownie recipe.
Apparently this magical brownie, Oreo cookie brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie concoction was created by The Londoner and then popularized by What’s Gaby Cooking. Pure gooey genius.
I still can’t locate information on why they are called Slutty Brownies. Perhaps because you feel a little dirty eating them? But I did figure out how to make them and make them super good.
I mean, one should not admit to enjoying layers of the three best desserts known to man. Sinfully delicious, for sure.
Variations
Since their origination makers of the best brownie recipe have made their own modifications. Some add peanut butter, others a layer of caramel, different types of cookies and the list goes on.
PRO TIP: Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make for easy clean up and slicing.
I tried several variations. And even though some were a bust, they all tasted amazing. What I will say is that lining your pan with aluminum foil is KEY. These bad boys are gooey and messy.
The cookie dough layer didn’t cook all the way, the dough on the bottom was raw (which I liked, but it made them harder to eat). Others were too dry. Some too mushy and impossible to eat.
Messy Brownies
I have no idea how some folks got their brownies to cut nicely and stay in a finger-food bar form.
All of mine required a fork and any of them prepped in an 8×8 or 9×9 pan didn’t even bake all the way, they were just too thick. Using a 9×13 was the way to go.
Even though mine needed a fork, but the flavors were OH. MY. GAWD. You think it will be too rich and then you just keep eating this magic in a pan. You’ll feel a little dirty, but you’ll keep eating.
My Version of Slutty Brownies
My ultimate slutty brownies take my favorite layer, double stuffed Oreo cookie, and double it. Not only is there a layer of Oreo, now there is also a crumbled Oreo topping.
I also added chocolate chips to the brownie batter and a layer of white chocolate chips for good measure. As if this isn’t already a decadent dessert recipe.
Chocolate lover, right here *raises hand*!
Drizzle that with caramel sauce and sprinkling of salt and you get…. something words can’t describe. Slutty brownies are pure ecstasy. Sweet and salty brownie heaven, kinda like our Oreo Icebox Cake.
The ultimate homemade brownie recipe.
From Scratch or a Box?
While I prefer to make my cookie dough and brownie batter from scratch, feel free to use a roll of pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough and a box mix of brownies. You might need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
In fact, I think a lot of the issues people have with baking time has to do with using different types of mixes.
One box of brownie mix and another may need different cooking times, so use your best judgement and the toothpick test.
Storage & Freezing
How long are slutty brownies food for? Like most homemade brownies, they are best in the first 3 days of baking, but up to one week.
How do I store slutty brownies? They are best covered at room temperature. If you put them in the fridge, they tend to get dry and brittle. make sure they stay in a single layer so they don’t stick together.
Can I freeze them? Yes! I like to freeze them in single servings in individual plastic bags. Don’t freeze with caramel sauce though, add that after thawing.
Baking & Serving
How do you keep brownies from sinking in the middle? When you beat your ingredients, you incorporate air into the batter and the flour stabilizes the air bubbles.
If there is more air than flour, the brownies will over expand and as they bake, the collapse and deflate. As I always say, baking is more chemistry than artistry.
To prevent this, don’t overmix, which can also cause brownies to be dry (due to the air) and have the correct ratios of flour to wet ingredients.
How can I best cut these? Make sure you wait for your brownies to cool completely before attempting to slice. But to be 100% honest, these are very gooey and best eaten with a fork.
You can let them harden in the fridge to get a nice clean cut.
How do I serve them? You can be totally decadent and serve with with even more chocolate or caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

I made a few changes to this recipe and it was amazing!! I added peanut butter chips instead of white chocolate and I used a different homemade caramel sauce.
Thanks for coming back to let us know! Glad you loved it!
What is the best sea salt
For these I recommend a fleur de sel, this is a good one: .
I tried it and it turned out prefect. So good!
Hello I have a question do the middle suppose to be done all the way I tried the recipe I cooked it til the middle was done but the sides was so hard
Hi Quantina! The middle should be gooey, not fully baked. The edges do tend to get a little crunchy though- like Brownie Brittle. It should just be a little bit though, not like, the whole thing.
Ok Thank you. I tried it again it turned out prefect. I have another question do you use 2 or 3 eggs in your brownie and have you ever used the aluminum 9×13 pan lol I want to make it for a gift but dont want to sent my dish
Hi again! Glad they turned out this time and glad we could help. You can use 2 or 3 eggs, more eggs will make them more cakey and less fudgy. The choice is purely yours. You can make this in a 9×13 pan, but the cooking time will be a little less since the brownies aren’t as think. I’d cut it back by about 5 minutes.
I’d eat these no matter what they call them. They were so indulgent and delicious. Everyone raved about them! Will definitely be making them again! Yum!
The caramel and sea salt really take these over the top! Totally decadent and delicious!
I made this and it was so fabulous. I used a salted caramel brownie mix which added richness, I would break up the Oreos on the first layer too. Fantastic…thanks
Yay! That is what I love to hear and THANK YOU for taking the time to stop by and let us know 🙂
omg yes, these truly are the ultimate!! That caramel sauce on top is the icing on the cake… er, caramel on the slutty brownie? In any event, they’re perfection!
This is just what I’ve been looking for to satisfy my sweet tooth! So delicious!
