For The Brownies
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter salted, melted, 1 stick
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 15 regular Mint Oreo Cookies
For The Frosting
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup butter soften, salted
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- green food coloring gel food coloring will give you a more vibrant green color and is preferred, but you can use drip food coloring
- 5 regular Mint Oreo Cookies
- 2 teaspoons Red heart sprinkles flat sprinkles that are heart-shaped, sometimes called quins
Instructions
Making The Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and set to the side.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk eggs with a whisk until the yolks are fully mixed. Add melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla to the eggs, then mix well with a whisk.
- Place flour, cocoa powder and salt to a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix well with a silicone spatula until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix together with a silicone spatula until well combined.
- With a large knife and a cutting board, slice 15 mint Oreos into quarters. Fold the Oreo pieces into the brownie batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading the batter evenly.
- Bake the brownies for 25-28 minutes. You'll know the brownies are done when the center of the brownies are fudgy but not wet, you can check with a toothpick. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting, usually about an hour.
Making The Frosting And Decorating
- Place the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, green food coloring and powdered sugar. Whisk together until smooth. Add more food coloring as needed to make the frosting green enough. Spread frosting over cooled brownies.
- Chop the remaining five mint Oreo cookies into small pieces. Top the brownies with the chopped mint Oreos and red heart sprinkles.
- Refrigerate the brownies for 1-2 hours to help set the frosting. Then slice and enjoy!
Notes
- You can also line the pan with aluminum foil, but you then need to spray the foil with cooking oil or the brownies will stick to the pan.
- Once the brownies have cooled some, you can place the pan in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
