Dessert: Ridiculous brownies.

Slutty Brownies.



That is not a very kind name for these delicious brownies.  It is also not very "family friendly"... Originally the recipe flying around the interwebs for this dessert (um, its more than a dessert) was 3 prepackaged items, cookie dough, Oreos, and brownie mix, which also contributed to the negative title of recipe, since it was fast and easy (and filthy of course).
This vegan version still packs an Oreo center (someday I hope to make a homemade cookie center), but I used simple cookie and brownie recipes to ensure veganness (and also I never have or use mixes).

Without further adieu, this is how to make Slutty Vegan Brownies (Or Strumpet Brownies, or Double Cookie Brownies, or Big Booty Brownies).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 9x13 pan with parchment (or don't, it just makes it a bit tidier).

Cookie layer:

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice
2 tbs starch (corn, tapioca, arrowroot, whatever)
1 tbs vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1tp salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Wisk the first 5 ingredients (down to and including the starch) until it turns into a caramel like consistency. This is important. Add the rest of the ingredients except the chips and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon. Fold in chocolate chips. Press mixture into bottom of your pan.
Layer Oreos onto cookie dough, pretty much touching each other. It should use most of the box, with a few leftover (You know there ain't no such thing as leftover Oreos).
No need to clean your cookie mixing bowl, use it to mix your brownies.

Brownie topping:

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup water
2/3 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla

Sift or wisk dry ingredients, then add wet and stir. Pour over cookies. Bake for about an hour. I started checking mine around 40 minutess but it took over an hour. Test with a toothpick. If it comes out dry it is done. Beware sticking it into the cookies though, the melty chocolate chips will cause a false negative!
Allow to cool before cutting. This will be torturous. Believe it or not though, these are better when cool. Sounds crazy, but its true. Maybe the flavours meld. I think its more to do with Oreos though, as they are designed to be eaten at room temperature.

Another warning; the actual reason behind the original name of these, Slutty Brownies, most likely has something to do with what happens when you eat them. You want more, and more, and more. And then you really regret your choices. Uuuugh too much of a good thing!
