Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ 15.25-ounce package Mint Oreos (about 15 cookies)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
• Mix well.
• In another bowl, mix together the baking powder, cocoa powder, salt and flour.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until well combined.
• Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and break them up. You want chunks, not crumbs.
• Add about half of them to the batter and fold in.
• Pour into your prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining Oreos on top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should be set and the middle should look moist, but not too jiggly.
• Cool completely before cutting.
