6. Mix the slightly cooled brown butter and brown sugar together.
7. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
8. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
9. Fold in the golden oreos and white chocolate. Do not over mix.
10. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and top with more white chocolate and golden oreos.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with a few moist crumbs.
12. Let it cool for clean cuts.
