Slutty Blondies (aka Blondies Have More Fun)

sluttyblondiesOkay, so…why these are “slutty” blondies, I honestly don’t know. I’m not sure we should be judging their morals either so I also call them Blondies Have More Fun because that seems a little nicer. These delicious treats have a sugar cookie base, Golden Oreo middle, and blondie top, meaning the calorie count is completely off the charts. But they are amazing, and I’m planning to make a classic Oreo version later today, so we’ll see how that turns out. I adapted this recipe from What’s Gaby Cooking to omit the white chocolate chips in the blondie layer, but you could certainly add those in if you like.

Ingredients

For the sugar cookie base

  • 8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Golden Oreo layer

  • 12 Golden Oreo cookies

For the blondie top

  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9 baking tin with foil and spray with baking spray.

Make the sugar cookie layer: In a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and beat to combine completely. Press mixture into the bottom of the baking tin; top with Golden Oreos.

Make the blondie layer: Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg; add flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and stir to combine completely. Batter will be fairly thick; spread it over the Oreo layer using a spatula.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting; makes 16.
