Today, I am so excited to share how you can make homemade Oreos, otherwise known as Oreo biscuits/buskuits. You read that right: homemade Oreos from scratch! 

The Inspiration:

I've always loved Oreos because, after all, I'm a cookie lover. But have you ever had the desire to know what's inside those great wafers and wonderful creamy fillings? So, I decided to just make my own, and this recipe turned out to be a great revelation.


Here is the recipe...

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the filling:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Instructions

For the wafers:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper .
2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, soda, and salt.
3. Cream the sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
6. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
7. Use a cookie cutter or cut into circles for fun shapes.
8. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm to the touch.


Filling:

1. Beat the butter and the powdered sugar until creamy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Assembly:
1. Allow the wafers to cool completely.
2. Spread a little of the filling on half of a wafer.
3. Place another wafer on top to make your Oreo!



Tips and Variations:
• Try out different taste marriages with mint or orange extract. 
• Mix a pinch of salt into the filling, so there's a salty-sweet contrast.
• Fold in some other type of chocolate for texture, or nuts for the same chew. Why I Love This Recipe
• Homemade Oreos are a game changer in that what really comes through is, of course the freshness and quality of ingredients.
• You can change these to your favorite flavor.

They make the perfect gifts or treat any occasion. Give it a try, and then let me know what you think of it.
