slutty skillet brownies

Okay, I feel like I should start this blog post by clarifying that Slutty Brownies are an actual thing, and that I didn't come up with the name myself 😉 This mythical edible creation was first made by Amanda over on the Kevin & Amanda blog, though under a much more innocent name. The incredible combination of brownie/cookie dough/Oreo has been done by countless bloggers since, and while I had never made them myself, I just knew they had to be incredible! I decided to change things up a bit, and make them in a cast-iron skillet, because let's be honest- any excuse is a fine one for using it!

To create this show-stopper, I decided to combine my beloved One-Bowl Truffle Brownie batter and my go-to Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, and add several handfuls of crushed Oreos in between the layers. Oh. Em. Gee. The brownies and the cookies by themselves are pretty spectacular when baked, ya know, as intended, but combining them as skillet brownies {brookies?} and adding Oreos made this seriously incredible! Imagine like... a Pizzookie on crack. That's basically what you have here.

I'm a firm believer that many things taste better when made in a cast iron skillet. Maybe {probably?} it's just a mental thing, since things baked in a cast iron skillet just look so pretty and put together and photogenic. I don't know. But I've made a healthy vegan skillet brownies and eggs poached in tomato sauce and berry chocolate cinnamon rolls all in my cast-iron skillet and they were just extra-cute and extra-delicious. Okay, so it's totally a mental thing.

So, here's what you gotta do: make these ridiculous skillet brownies, scoop some vanilla ice cream on top, grab a handful of spoons and a handful of friends, and go to town. You don't need bowls or plates to enjoy this, just eat it straight in the pan!

Ingredients

• *for the brownie*
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon water
• 2 eggs
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• *for the cookie dough*
• 1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ stick 6 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chocolate chunks
• 12-14 double-stuffed Oreos

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray a large cast iron skillet with nonstick spray.
• First make the brownie. In a microwave-safe medium bowl, melt together the chocolate chips, brown sugar, butter, and water for the brownie in 30 second increments, until smooth. Mix in the eggs, then the vanilla and dry ingredients. Set the brownie batter aside for now.
• In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for the cookie dough. Whisk in the white and brown sugar until well incorporated, then beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy and lighter in color. Stir in the dry ingredients and finally the chocolate chunks.
• Now you can pour the brownie batter into the skillet, and top it with a handful of roughly crushed Oreos. Top with dollops of the cookie dough, and more crushed Oreos on top.
• Bake the brownie for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean {aside from the melted chocolate chips}.
• Let cool slightly then enjoy with ice cream!
