Smitten Kitchenis another favorite blog of mine. Deb’s pictures are beautiful, as is the food. She posted about making homemade Oreo cookies. I highly encourage you to check out her site.
Chocolate wafer cookies on baking sheet.
As Cauli will be away on a business trip, I decided to have some girls over for some food and girly movies. And nothing goes better with girly movies than Oreo cookies (and wine, of course).
The cookies were pretty easy to make. I read through the comments on Smitten Kitchen, and found some interesting facts and techniques. Dutch-processed cocoa will yield flatter cookies than regular cocoa. If you roll the dough in a ball and wet the bottom of a measuring cup, you’ll come out with evenly sized cookies.
Mmm…transfat-free-but-still-really-bad-for-you filling.
I used a pastry bag to pipe the frosting on the cookies (a freezer bag with the corner snipped off would work fine). I didn’t have enough frosting for all the cookies, and as Cauli pointed out, the cookies tasted best with quite a bit of cream on them – double stuff Oreo style. But the wafers were good on their own.
Cookie goodness.
OH MY GOSH!! These were so good everyone – you must print out the recipe and make them for yourself – or, go to Parsnips House as I did! Thank you for the deliciousness. Mighty good.
OMG! I can’t believe I missed these cookies! If I beg and plead will you make me some of these for my birthay. PLEEEAAASE?
Thanks Kelly! I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Heather: I will indeed!
