Homemade Oreos

Ingredients for 24 Homemde Oreo cookies-

  • 100g Butter at room temperature (preferably unsalted, I like to control the amount of salt added)
  • 150g Caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 150g flour
  • 40g cocoa powder
  • 60ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Frosting- 100g butter
  • 200g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract with seeds
  • Enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent curdling and similar baking issues!

Preheat the oven to 180°C

  • Line baking sheets with grease proof paper or grease baking sheets with cooking spray or oil. Don’t use parchment paper or the cookies will just stick to it!
  • Mix butter and sugar together in a bowl until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add in flour and cocoa powder, milk and vanilla then milk to form a smooth dough ball with a uniform colour.
  • Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Dust work surface with flour then unwrap dough and roll until it is and half a centimeter thick.
  • Cut out circle about 5cm in diameter and place on to the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven then leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Mean while make the frosting by creaming the butter, icing sugar and vanilla in bowl until smooth, creamy and pale in colour.
  • Use About 1 tsp of the frosting to spread between the cookies then sandwich them together!
  • Now there ready to eat! If there are any left overs store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
