Homemade Oreos

 

Thats right! And everyone knows I'm a sucker for a cookie with frosting in the middle!!! (Hello Mrs. Fields Cookie Sandwiches!!!!) Anyways, I've been looking around for a good recipe and lo and behold!!! And because I'm so, so very generous, I've decided to share the recipe with my friends and family! Lucky you! =D
Thanks again to Sugar Cooking for the fabulous recipe!

Ingredients:

 1 1/4 C. Sugar

1/2 C. + 2 Tbs. Butter at room temp

1 Egg

1 tsp. Vanilla

1 1/4 C. Flour

1/2 C. Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1/4 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

Directions:

1. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
2. Add in egg, mix, then add in vanilla and mix again.

3. In a seperate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. Slowly add in the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

5. Because you want the cookies to all be the same size, use a Tablespoon to measure the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls and flatten slightly.

 

6. Bake at 375 for 9 minutes. Let them sit on the pan for 5 minutes before attempting to remove them.

Cream Filling!!

• 1/4 C. Butter, room temp
• 1/4 C. Vegetable Shortening/ Crisco
• 2 C. Powdered Sugar
• 1-2 tsp. Vanilla
• Milk (as/if needed)

Directions: Cream the butter and vegetable shortening for 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla, then slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Add milk 1 Tbs. at a time if needed. Once the cookies are completley cooled, assemble the Oreo cookie sandwhich!

ENJOY!!!!
