Put Your Summer Diet On Hold And Make This Slutty Brownie Cake

Slutty brownies — the triple layer chocolate chip cookie, Oreo, brownie bars — dominate the internet's dessert stratosphere. And for good reason. You can't lose with epic combo like that. But the winning trio is too good to restrict to brownies, which has led us to the creations of wild things like Slutty Cheesecake Bars and Slutty Brownie Ice Cream Cake. Now there's this cake. It sounds way more modest than it is.

The layers aren't really cake at all, which is a win for anyone who would much rather have a cookie than a slice of vanilla (me!). One layer is a ginormous chocolate chip cookie and the other is a big 'ole fudgy brownie. If you're starting with store-bought refrigerated cookie dough, you'll need two logs. If you want to go homemade, our cookie cake recipe won't do you wrong. For the brownie, use a boxed mix!

Ingredients
Yields: 12

Cooking spray, for pan
1 box brownie mix, plus ingredients called for on box
2 tubes chocolate chip cookie dough
1 c. butter, softened
5 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/3 c. crushed Oreos, plus more for garnish
14 oreos
Chocolate sauce, for drizzling

Directions
Prep Time: 0:20
Total Time: 0:50

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 8” baking pans with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Prepare brownie mix according to package directions and pour batter into one prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Press cookie dough into an even layer in the other prepared baking pan. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
Make frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter and about half the powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until mixture is smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Fold in crushed Oreos.
Place the chocolate chip cookie layer on a serving plater. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top, then top with whole Oreos. Spread more frosting on the Oreos, then top with the brownie layer and spread the remaining frosting on top. Garnish with more crushed Oreos and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
