Ingredients
Bar:
- 1 cup (226g) butter, melted
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, room temperature preferred
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup (85g) mini semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup colored sprinkles
- 21 Oreo cookies
Directions
- Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease and flour.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs one at a time, then the yolk, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Make Batter: Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until fully combined. Mix in chocolate chips and sprinkles.
- Assemble Bars: Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Lay 16 Oreo cookies in a single layer over the batter. Drop remaining batter in spoonfuls over the Oreos and spread gently. Press 5 broken Oreo pieces into the top.
- Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to integrate smoothly.
- Avoid overmixing the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep the texture soft.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for clean cuts.
FAQs

A: Yes, regular size chocolate chips can be used, but mini chips distribute more evenly in the batter.
