Homemade oreos, so easy to make at home!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (124g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened Dutch process cocoa
- 1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups (192g) sugar*
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) (142g) room-temperature, unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
Filling:
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) (57g) room-temperature, unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (57g) shortening
- 2 cups (260g) sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons (9g) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°F.
- In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar.
- While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg.
- Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
- Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately two inches apart.
- With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
- To make the cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
- To assemble the cookies, in a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch, round tip, pipe teaspoon-size blobs of cream into the center of one cookie.
- Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream.
- Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie.
- Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.
- Dunk generously in a large glass of milk.
Notes
For less sweet cookies, use 1 cup, or add a half more to it, if preferred.
