If you like Oreos, you're really going to love these. The sweet-yet-bitter chocolate cookie is a dead ringer for an Oreo and the creme filling so very true to the Oreo filling we all know and love. The assembled products are crispy yet chewy- like a fresher version of the classic cookie, according to hubs.
However, I do recommend you flatten your cookies a bit more before baking if you're going for a more wafer like feel- mine didn't fully flatten and were still yummy, just also a bit chewy!
This recipe originally comes from Retro Desserts, and was adapted by Smitten Kitchen, and then utilized by me. I haven't copied it below so that you'll hopefully follow the links for yummy goodness!
Gather your super awesome ingredients:
Combine the dry ingredients:
Add the butter and eggs:
It will slowly...
...form a ball of dough.
Create small teaspoon sized balls of dough on parchment lined pans.
Flatten them with hands or the bottom of a glass:
Bake them following the guidelines until they come out all delicious like:
Then combine the ingredients for the filling:
Mix until it's nice and fluffy.
Simply plop or pipe the filling on one cookie. Don't be stingy:
Give it a hefty dose! You can always make more filling!
Smoosh and enjoy!
Do you like Oreos? I find I need to really crave them to be able to eat them...
Ugh, You are killing me, lady!

ReplyDeleteThese look SO SO good!!! I want to make them this Sunday for the Superbowl party we're going to. I live in Denver....a.k.a. my cookies generally are a big fat FAIL due to altitude:-(. Any idea how to adjust the cookie recipe for altitude anyone?!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those look so delicious! Tell me they taste terrible so I don't crave them anymore! ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg those look amazing! You're making me hungry!
ReplyDelete"I knew that he truly understands my soul." YOU ARE FREAKING HILARIOUS. These look amazing and it's taking all of my willpower not to go into the kitchen right now and make them. I might have to give in -- they are calling to me.
ReplyDelete@Cole: No oven?! Sacrilege!
ReplyDelete@lavenderpug: These are actually incredibly easy, even though they don't look it!
@FarmGirl: That made my day! :)
@rockymountainwife: Having grown up baking in Idaho, at 6000 feet above sea level, I feel ya :) I used to simply add a bit more flour to my recipes to account for it, or a perhaps another egg or a larger egg (like extra large). I actually found a great site that lists some ideas here: http://www.themuffinlady.com/highaltitudebaking.php
@fromscratch: I'm so glad someone gets my awkward humor :) I appreciate you a lot.
These look amazing. I know what I'm doing on my snow day tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these here and there on line, and they always look so good! I think your post has tipped me over the edge into wanting to try them for myself.
ReplyDeleteThose look soooo delicious! I want one right now.
ReplyDeleteYUM! I need to try these now! Of course, I'm still trying to lose my extra honeymoon weight so...um...maybe not a good idea right now! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! These look so good. You are inspiring me to bake.
ReplyDeleteI've had a hankering to bake some cookies lately, and I just might have to give these a shot!
