A fusion of two separate cookies and brownies into mega-stuffed cupcakes, these Oreo Cookie Dough Brownie Cupcakes are TO DIE FOR!
Oreo Cookie Dough Brownie Cupcakes
Please don’t hate me for this one. This is one of the most decadent desserts out I’ve ever made and enjoyed, and it’s not at all hard to make. You might recognize this from my Dessert for Dinner post.
Make this recipe for someone you really love. Make this recipe to help cheer someone up. Make this recipe for your next pot luck and wait until the reactions come pouring in. It’s marvelous and evil and oh so incredibly deliciously decadent.
How to Make Oreo Cookie Dough Brownie Cupcakes
This recipe works by using layers – each different ingredient goes in one at a time.
See how the layers work? Favorite chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom (ours is, hands down, Immaculate Baking Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk), Oreo-type cookie in the center (we love Newman O’s or Back to Nature), and a fudgy brownie mix on top. (Ghirardelli’s Ultimate Fudge always hits the spot).
Bake until the brownies on top are cooked to perfection.
I swear I wanted to dig these out with a fork before they were even cooled. MY GOSH!
But no, you can’t! You simply MUST drizzle fudge sauce on top. YOU MUST! (Or caramel.)
See that right there? HOLY CANNOLI!

Alright, friends – who wants one? I’ve got extra, but if you want to make ’em for yourself, here’s the recipe:
Oreo Cookie Dough Brownie Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 package Immaculate Baking Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- 1 package Oreo-type sandwich creme cookies we love Newman O’s or Back to Nature
- 1 package of your favorite brownie mix we love Ghirardelli’s Ultimate Fudge*
- Hot fudge sauce or caramel sauce
- *ingredients needed for your favorite brownie mix – we needed one egg water, and oil.
- Muffin cups optional, but recommended
Instructions
- Spray the muffin pan both in the wells and on top, as the brownies will spread (spray the paper cups if you use them, and still spray the top of the muffin pan, too)
- Massage each cookie dough ball to fit the bottoms of the muffin pan; place gently into the sprayed well.
- Layer one Oreo creme cookie on top without pushing down.
- Mixing together whatever ingredients you need for your brownie mix, and, using a tablespoon, gently spoon overtop the brownie batter.
- If you’re using a standard muffin pan, the muffin wells will fill up almost to the top.
- Bake at 350 for 15 or so minutes, keeping an eye on the brownies on top – they will be fudgy and soft, but crisp around the edges. Do not overbake.
- Set them on a baking rack to cool – drizzle with hot fudge sauce or caramel.
