An Oreo Cookie Recipe You Can Make at Home
I have to admit that Oreo cookies are a guilty pleasure. When I moved to the UK, they didn’t sell them there and I used to stock up every time I went home. Then I saw a cooking show where they made sandwich cookies using rolled fondant icing as a filling and it gave me the idea to make these little beauties! These Homemade Oreo cookies are everything you’d want in a sandwich cookie and more! My family couldn’t get enough of them, my son and his friends kept telling me how delicious they were and had them finished off in no time! I also have an amazing recipe for a No Bake Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake and Homemade Oreo Christmas Cookies, if you love Oreo-style cookies as much as me, you should check these out! Making these cookies is super simple. I’ll walk you through the whole thing with step by step photos and a video so you’ll know exactly what to do.

How to Make Homemade Oreo Cookies
Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt in a large bowl, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg & yolk one at a time.
Then the vanilla, followed by the instant coffee, mixing in each ingredient before adding the next. Add the dry ingredients.
Mix until incorporated. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, wrap with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Knead the dough slightly to help soften and avoid cracks when rolling. Place one piece between 2 lightly floured sheets of parchment paper and roll into a 1?4-inch-thick.
Using a 2 inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles.
To make the flower design, I used a fondant press.
Just press it into the dough, but be careful not to cut through the dough (all you want is an indention of the design).
Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and chill for 20 minutes. Bake the cookies until they are set (about 8-10 minutes) be sure not to let them get too dark or the cookie will become bitter. Cool completely on cooling racks. Roll out the fondant, using icing sugar for rolling (not flour) to just over a quarter of an inch thickness and cut into circles using the same cookie-cutter as for the cookies. Brush one side of the fondant with a little milk and press this onto the bottom of one cookie. Brush the other side of the fondant with a little water and place the bottom of a second cookie, pressing gently to secure the sandwich. I intentionally made these cookies less sweet and more intense in flavor than the original Oreos to balance out the sweetness of the filling. They really came out incredible and I hope you enjoy them!
