Here’s a recipe to make homemade Oreo cookies:
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cream Filling:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Dough:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Shape and Bake the Cookies:
Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and flatten them slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are firm. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Filling:
In a bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Oreos:
Spoon or pipe a small amount of cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
Top with another cookie and press gently to spread the filling to the edges.
Enjoy your homemade Oreo cookies!
