Ridiculously easy and decadently irresistible, these Oreo Blondies with Oreo Cookie Crust are guaranteed to be a hit!
Wait. How is Labor Day a week away?!
Why do the winter months never fly by as quickly as summer does?
It seems like I just broke out the Coppertone and flip flops and BOOM, our thoughts are already drifting towards falling leaves, warm sweaters and pumpkin recipes.
You know my heart belongs to summer, so I’ll be savoring each and every last day until my tootsies are too cold in flip flops and people start to look at me funny for wearing shorts when the temps start to dip!
So this week, to take the sting out of the approaching Labor Day weekend, we’ll be treating our sweet tooths to my two new favorite desserts!
First off, these Oreo Blondies with Oreo Cookie Crust.
Tom’s exact words after his first bite…..these are ridiculous!
I know blondies aren’t anything new. And I know people have topped them with Oreos, but blondies topped with Oreos with an Oreo cookie crust? Heck yeah!
It’s triple the deliciousness!
Golden blondies with a fantastic vanilla flavor, atop a dark Oreo cookie crust and then topped with some Oreo cookie pieces. Sounds like something you should drop everything for and start baking, am I right?!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Oreo Blondies with Oreo Cookie Crust Recipe:
I used my 9-inch cheesecake pan for easy removal, but you can also use a 9-inch baking pan.
I tested these several times, and finally decided that the perfect bake time was around 35-40 minutes. You don’t want to overbake. So depending on your oven, start checking around 35 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies should come out with a few crumbs.
You will need to exercise some patience and let these beauties cool for at least an hour and up to two before cutting.
You can cut them into squares or wedges, or you skip the cutting, grab a fork and have at it!
If you want these to be even more decadent, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I can’t think of a better way to drown my end of summer sorrows. Can you?
Don’t forget to pop by the blog again this Thursday for another special dessert that’s super easy and PERFECT for your Labor Day get together too!
Hope y’all have an awesome week! Enjoy!
Oreo Blondies with Oreo Cookie Crust
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
Oreo Cookie Crust
- 24 Oreo Cookies
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Blondies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tsp. vanilla extract
Topping
- 8-10 Oreo Cookies, broken into pieces
Instructions
Oreo Cookie Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom and sides of 9-inch cheesecake pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse a few times until you have fine crumbs. Place crumbs in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until well combined.
- Place crumbs in the bottom of your prepared pan. Pack the crumbs down with your fingers. Bake crust for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Blondies
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the eggs, one at a time until well combined. Add the vanilla and continue to mix until incorporated. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly on top of the Oreo cookie crust, smoothing the top. Top with broken Oreo cookie pieces. Bake until edges are lightly browned and toothpick inserted in middle of blondies comes out with just a few crumbs, about 35- 40 minutes. Begin checking at 35 minutes. Don't over bake.
- Let blondies cool at least one hour and up to two before cutting into wedges or squares. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Don’t put your flops away yet girl! I wear mine all year! These look like the perfect after-school surprise.
I won’t Karen! I’m a total hold out! The kids would love these!
Hahaaa, I’m SO with you Karen! lol!
I know! I can’t believe we are talking last week of August and it’s almost September. The past couple of months just flew by! I know something else that won’t last long – these blondies!! Girl, you’ve outdone yourself with these…what a way to kick off Monday :) !!
It’s crazy Dawn! Hope you have an awesome week Dawn!
I KNOW! Every day that passes I’m like where the heck is summer going? How is August almost over? I’m in love with these blondies–as far as I’m concerned, every blondie from now on needs to have an Oreo crust or I’m not going anywhere near it :). Have a great week, Mary Ann!
The Oreo crust is fantastic Kelsie! The more Oreos the better, right?! Happy Monday!
I have an oreo ‘problem’…I can’t resist them and when they’re in the house I eat the whole package. I bought a pack last week for a recipe and now they’re gone…sheesh, those things are GOOD! I think I would have a similar problem with these blondies, they’re genius Mary Ann!
So does my husband Sue~! I can’t keep up!
The Oreos on top make such a fun presentation as well as (I’m sure) adding a delicious chocolate crunch! Wonderful idea!
Tom and Casey couldn’t get enough of these Chris!
And it’s for occasions such as these blondies that I need to keep Oreos in the house! I don’t trust myself alone with a package! ;) This is divine, my friend!! Shared!
I know. Me either Annie! So many delicious varieties! Happy Monday and thanks so much for sharing!
Oreo blondies?! I love this! what a great idea! my kids are going to FLIP!
I bet the girls will love them Alice!
These look crazy delicious Mary Ann!! I love the crust and the chunks of Oreo’s on top!!!
Thanks Rebecca! Tom and Casey totally loved them!
Mary Ann – Let me just skip the rest of my comments and send a big giant “Thank You!’ From my entire Oreo-loving family! These look and sound perfect. A great after-school treat, too!
You’re quite welcome Laura! Bet the kids will love them!
Irresistable is a huge understatement! They look so incredibly good.
Thanks Matt! A great after school treat for Cole and Connor! Hope school is going well!
I know… summer is going by too fast. We still have a couple of months of nice weather, so I won’t wish it away! This dessert has my name written all over it! I can’t resist Oreos.
I can’t either Natasha! I’m savoring the summer days too!
I could not be trusted alone with this pan! These look amazing!
Thanks Leigh Ann! They’re tough to resist! Take it from one who knows!
Thank you very much for baking tips; I have noticed, reason unknown, that every kitchen has “different” oven, almost like a person with different character ….. so if I bake at my mother’s or while visiting my friends, baking means a bit different approach :-) Thank you for the beauty ! Again !
You’re so very welcome! Thanks so much for following along here at the BHK!
Right? I can hardly believe it’s almost Sept. !! Now, you’ve reminded me how long it’s been since I’ve made blondies… but you’ve taken them over the top, Mary Ann! Rob would flip for this! lol
You know Mr. Picky loved them Traci!
I really can’t believe we only have 24 days left of the summer season… it makes me want to go cry in a corner while eating my feelings with baskets of fresh fruit… and some of this cake. Obviously. ;) Seriously, this is a STUNNER, Mare!! Boy is an Oreo addict, so this definitely has his name written all over it! Drooling over here! Pinned! Cheers, my dear friend! XO
He’d love them Chey! I’ll cry in the corner with you!
Loving the Oreo overload in these blondies! The perfect end of summer treat. And yes, summer goes by way too fast, and winter crawls by! Let’s hang on to summer as long as we can!
Yes! Let’s Leanne!
I love Blondies, Mary Ann – but adding the oreos is a fantastic idea – a bit of chocolatey crunch! I’ve been think about the cool weather too – we have a ways to go but it’s cooled down a bit here – hopefully no more 100 plus degree days for us.
I’m hoping no more 100’s here either Geraldine!
These blondies are so perfect, just what the weekend needs!
Thanks Laura!
Oreo desserts are the best! This is making me hungry right now!
Can you tell me how much “2 cups brown sugar lightly packed” is? I’ve seen recipes call for brown sugar “firmly packed” or even better, in grams or ounces. But lightly packed can vary greatly
I just spoon the light brown sugar into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife. I don’t pack it down tight. Hope that helps Cristina!
Well, I made these and they were *almost* a disaster! I checked them at 35, 40, then 50, then 60 minutes (!) And it was still completely soupy inside! Also, the butter was leaking out of my springform pan and made a mess before I could put a cookie sheet underneath. I finally took it out after an hour even though it was a Blondie soup lol. I let it cool and it solidified and it was, to my surprise, SO DELICIOUS!!! I am an avid baker and followed the recipe. So, not sure what happened, but it turned out great in the end!
Oh crap Cristina!! They should never ever be soupy after an hour!! I don’t know what could have happened?! Could you have had some kind of issue with your oven temp? I’m glad they turned out in the end!
In the ingredients list you list baking powder but in the instructions you list it as baking soda. Was wondering which one you use. Thanks
Sorry Kiki. I just corrected. It’s baking powder not baking soda.
