Posted: 13 Jan 2019, 05:27
1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon red food coloring
15 coarsely crushed Oreos with filling (I use my food processor)
Cream Cheese Layer:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Brownies: Add butter, sugar and cocoa powder to stand or hand mixer and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs to the batter one at a time, beating after each addition just until incorporated. Beat in vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and cinnamon then beat into batter just until combined. Add red food coloring and beat until combined. Stir in crushed Oreos until evenly combined. Pour batter evenly into pan. Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese in stand or hand mixer just until smooth. Add sugar, egg and vanilla and beat just until incorporated. Drop by spoonfuls onto the brownie batter and swirl together by dragging a knife through both layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let pan cool on a wire rack, then lift out brownies using the parchment paper. Cut when cooled completely.
