Grease and line an 8 by 12 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place it onto the bottom of each Oreo.

Press each Oreo into the greased and parchment lined pan, ensuring the bottom is filled with Oreos.

In a mixer, combine melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well mixed and slightly thickened.

Add in eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter becomes lighter in color and fluffier, about one minute.

Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Cover the Oreos with the brownie batter using an angled spatula, ensuring even coverage.

Tap the pan on the counter a few times to settle the batter and fill any gaps.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 35 minutes, adjusting time for desired gooeyness or firmness.

Once out of the oven, spread 1 cup of peanut butter on top while the brownies are still warm to allow it to melt into the brownies.

Let the brownies cool before serving.
