Oreo Brownie Cookie Amazing-ness

I know I've been away recently, but school just started back up for me (I'm in my last semester of my M.B.A.) and I've been pretty busy, but I've been trying to still document all of our projects. Hopefully I will get them on the website soon.

I saw a recipe for a chocolate chip n oreo brownie cookie on a bountiful kitchen and decided I needed to make this. However, I needed an event to make this for, otherwise John and I would eat the whole thing which would not be good for my waistline. My friend's birthday was August 23rd, so I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to try it out. The recipe is as follows

1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips, semi sweet
1 package of Oreo cookies
1 package of brownie mix (to be prepared as directed on the box) 

Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 9X13 pan with parchment paper
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan.
Now place the Oreo's on top of the cookie dough.
Prepare brownie batter as directed. Pour/spread brownie batter on top and smooth it around with a spatula.
Bake for  about 50 minutes. Bars are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out with a bit of a moist crumb attached. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours.  

Cut into squares and serve.

I forgot to take pictures as I was making this, but I did manage to get a picture of it completely finished. This is how it came out

It was insanely good and everyone at the party loved it. I will definitely be making this again!
