Description
We decided Friday that despite lacking a box mix for homemade oreo cookies, we might still be able to come up with a way to make homemade oreo cookies. We rarely have cake mix boxes on hand, so we sadly rarely make oreo cookies. This time I was determined we would fix this problem. Starting from a devil's food cake recipe from scratch, we altered things until we found a good cookie dough. This seems to be a keeper.
Ingredients
- 2 1⁄4 c flour
- 1⁄2 c cocoa powder
- 1 1⁄2 t baking soda
- 1⁄4 t salt
- 1⁄2 c shortening
- 1 c sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 T water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, shortening, sugar, vanilla, and egg in a mixer until well mixed. Add water slowly until it reaches a good cookie consistency -- this was about 2 TBSP for us, but might differ for you depending. You need to be able to roll the dough into balls, so don't let the dough get too sticky. Roll cookie dough into small balls, no larger than 1/2 inch in diameter. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about 7-9 minutes, but keep an eye on things so they don't get overcooked on the bottom. Place on cooling rack. When the cookies cool, find matches and put cream cheese frosting between each pair of cookies. (Note to future self: half a batch of frosting should do.) Yum!
