How to Make Joe's Peppermint Cookies N Cream Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the foil lightly.
- In a medium-large saucepan over low heat, melt together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Whisk in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups crushed Candy Cane Joe-Joe cookies (or peppermint Oreos).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Optional: Crush 3-4 additional cookies finely and sprinkle them over the batter. Optional: Crush 1 candy cane and sprinkle it on top for extra festive flair.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then, lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
