Time 45m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa
1/4 cup black cocoa (or replace with dutch process cocoa)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus (SOFTEN ALL BUTTER)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter (SOFTENED)
1/4 cup vegetable shortening or 1/4 cup coconut oil
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • With a mixer, or an extremely strong arm mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the butter, and then the egg. Continue mixing until dough comes together in a mass. It will be very thick. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD A LITTLE WATER TO MAKE THE DOUGH STICK TOGETHER. Just add a tiny bit; It needs to be very stiff.
  • Place small rounded spoonfuls of batter (think about a TBl)on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the dough with the heel of your hand. The cookies will spread very very slightly when baked, so you can fit more than your standard dozen on a sheet.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes. Transfer paper or foil sheets with cookies on a rack to cool.
  • FILLING: Cream butter and shortening (or coconut oil) in a mixing bowl, and gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
  • ASSEMBLY: Spoon or pipe filling into the center of each cookie and press together.
  • Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
  • NOTE: You can use vegetable shortening, coconut oil, or even regular butter in the filling. If you use all butter, your filling may 'melt' with time in a room temperature situation. Both shortening and coconut oil will make the filling stable.
  • NOTE: Black cocoa (which is extra alkaline) gives the cookies the extra dark, black color that our childhood favorites were. You can find this in speciality food stores or order it very cheaply online. If that's too much trouble (although I'll vouch that it's worth it) you can simply replace it with regular dutch processed cocoa for a 'browner' rather than 'black' cookie.

HOMEMADE OREOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Homemade Oreos Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, white sugar, salt, large eggs, all-purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups dark cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (225 grams) of softened butter with the white sugar and salt, until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs until fully incorporated.
  • Sieve together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda into the mix. Blend well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix together until combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto your surface and push together into a flat square. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Remove the dough from the fridge, and for ease of rolling out, divide the dough into 4 (this way the dough stays cool longer and prevents the need of re-chilling later on).
  • To roll out the dough, place a quarter of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper (alternatively the dough can be rolled out on a lightly floured surface - though the parchment is preferred as it prevents any additional flour from altering the color/appearance of the dark cookies). Roll the dough between the two sheets of parchment to ¼-inch (½ cm) thickness.
  • Using a small round cookie cutter (alternatively, we found the rim of a champagne glass to be a perfect size!) cut the dough into individual rounds and place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least ½-inch (1¼ cm) between each cookie.
  • Pack together and re-roll out any scraps to cut additional cookies. Repeat with this process with each remaining ¼ of the dough.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. If baking multiple trays at the same time, be sure to rotate the pans in the oven halfway through. Remove and transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • To make the filling, combine ½ cup (115 grams) butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together until light and fluffy.
  • Assemble the cookies by spreading a generous scoop of the icing onto one of the cookies and sandwiching it with another. Give it a light squeeze and scrape any excess off to clear and even out the sides.
  • Serve with a glass of milk.
  • Enjoy!

HOMEMADE OREOS FROM SMITTEN KITCHEN



Homemade Oreos from Smitten Kitchen image

These are a fantastic cookie, and in my opinion, better than "real" Oreos. This recipe was originally posted here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/05/my-kingdom-for-a-glass-of-milk/

Provided by amy.hough

Categories     Dessert

Time 24m

Yield 25-30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
5/8 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure out all of your ingredients and gather all of your equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mistakes.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final product. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and give them a crispy exterior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.

Conclusion:

These homemade Oreos are a delicious and satisfying treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are free of the artificial additives and preservatives that are found in store-bought cookies. With a little time and effort, you can easily make these cookies at home and enjoy the pure goodness of real food.
