Ingredients
1/2cupsalted butter113 grams
3/4cupgranulated sugar
1/4cupbrown sugar, packed60 grams
2largeeggs
1/2tspvanilla extract
3/4tspwhite vinegar
red gel food coloringUse a gel to get rich color without adding tons of extra liquid - try Wilton gel food colors
Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x9 ceramic or metal pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper (so the paper stays in place).
Make the Brownies: Melt the butter in a large or medium bowl. Whisk in the sugars. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Then, whisk for 2 additional minutes - this will create the crackly top. Whisk in the vinegar. Add the gel food coloring to your desired effect. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold in about 2/3 of the oreos, then spread the batter in your prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining oreos on top.
Bake: 24 to 29 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the edges will come out clean or mostly clean, and one inserted into the center will pull out some thick batter that may look a *tad* underdone - but the center shouldn't be super jiggly anymore.
Serve + Store: Let brownies cool at least 30 minutes before diving in. (The longer they cool, the neater your slices will be, but these are a joy to eat warm!)Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days, letting come back to room temperature before enjoying (or try them cold if you like!)
