Oreo Brownies

For the brownies:
125g lightly salted butter
45g cocoa
2 eggs
225g caster sugar
60g self raising flour
1/2 pack of oreo cookies

For the icing:
230g icing sugar
55g butter (room temperature)
4 tablespoons extra double cream
1/2 pack of oreo cookies

Preheat the oven to Gas 4/350 F/ 180 C

Grease and line a 20cm/8inch square cake tin.

Gently melt the butter. Take off the heat and stir in cocoa until blended. Set aside to cool.

Whisk eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, then stir in the chocolate mixture. Sieve the flour into the mixture and gently fold in.

Crumble the oreo cookies (crumble all the cookies; you will need the rest later for the icing). Add half of the crumbled oreo cookies to the brownie mixture and gently fold in.

Pour the mixture into the tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes oruntil just cooked thin and springy.

Set aside to cool.

For the icing, beat the butter until soft and add the icing sugar and cream. Mix together until light and fluffy. You may add extra cream if necessary.

Mix in the rest of the crushed oreo cookies with a spoon and spread over the cooled brownies.
