1 |
Preheat oven
to 350°F. Butter and flour 12x18x1-inch pan.
Line with foil or parchment that hangs over the
sides for ease in getting them out (butter the
foil/parchment). |
|
2 |
In a
heatproof, medium-bowl set over a saucepan of
simmering water, heat butter, and chocolates
until melted and smooth; cool slightly. |
|
3 |
In a large
bowl, whisk together the eggs, espresso powder,
vanilla and sugar. Stir the egg mixture into the
slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Cool to room
temperature. |
|
4 |
In a medium
bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, baking
powder, and salt, then add to batter. In a small
bowl, stir Oreos and remaining ¼ cup flour. Stir
cookies into chocolate mixture. Then pour into
prepared baking pan and smooth top with a rubber
spatula. |

5 |
Bake for 25
to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean with a few crumbs
attached; do not overbake! Let cool completely,
then cover tightly and chill overnight. Chilled
brownies are easier to cut. Dump the
chilled brownie pan onto a large cutting board,
peel off the foil and cut into squares. |
