🧾 Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 oz / ~432g)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 10–12 chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed, like Oreo-style)

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra crushed cookies
  • Drizzle of melted white chocolate

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F)
  • Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper

Step 2: Make the Batter

  • In a large bowl, mix:
    • Cake mix
    • Melted butter
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla extract
  • Stir until thick and smooth (it will be dense like cookie dough)

Step 3: Add the Good Stuff

  • Fold in:
    • White chocolate chips
    • Crushed cookies
  • Mix gently to keep chunks intact

Step 4: Assemble

  • Spread batter evenly into the pan
  • Press extra cookie pieces on top for a bakery-style finish

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes
  • Edges should be set, center slightly soft

Step 6: Cool & Slice

  • Let cool completely before cutting into squares
  • This helps achieve that perfect fudgy texture

🔥 Methods & Pro Tips

  • Do NOT overbake → keeps brownies soft and gooey
  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter
  • Chill brownies 30 minutes before slicing for clean edges
  • Swap white chocolate with milk or dark for variation

📜 History of the Recipe

Red velvet desserts date back to the early 1900s in the United States, known for their subtle cocoa flavor and vibrant red color. Over time, bakers started experimenting—transforming cakes into cookies, brownies, and hybrid desserts.

The “cookies & cream” twist came later as a modern baking trend, combining nostalgic chocolate sandwich cookies with classic desserts. This recipe is a perfect example of fusion baking, where tradition meets creativity.

🧁 Formation (Texture & Structure)

  • Top Layer: Slightly crisp with cookie crunch
  • Middle: Soft, rich, and fudgy red velvet
  • Inside Bites: Creamy melted white chocolate + crunchy cookie chunks
  • Edges: Chewy and slightly caramelized

This combination creates a multi-texture dessert experience—soft, creamy, and crunchy in every bite.
