2 large eggs
1 tablespoon red food coloring (optional for intense color)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for topping)
For the Cream Cheese Swirl:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the red food coloring (if using) and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Swirl:
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake the Brownies:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (with a few moist crumbs).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle extra crushed Oreo cookies on top of the brownies before serving.
Enjoy these rich and decadent cookies and cream red velvet brownies!
