Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Homemade Oreos! Courtesy of my friend Sam on LiveJournal ( livejournal com) , Very good cookie and we thought they tasted very close to Oreos I didn’t have dutch processed cocoa, so used natural unsweetened cocoa–omitted the baking powder and added 1/8 tsp more baking soda according to some on-line suggestion for that substitution Used a melon baller and then flattened with the bottom of a glass that had been dipped in sugar I will use an even smaller scoop next time (and there will be a next time!!) because with the filling these are really rich, so a smaller cookie might be better Everyone who tasted them loved them , I found this Smallburst blog who credited Smitten Kitchen Rather then re-enter all this the primary difference (and my personal preference) is only use 1 cup of sugar in the cookie batter and use 1/4 dutch process cocoa and 1/4 BLACK cocoa (I had to special order it but worth it!) Small balls of dough will make a decent size cookie (small melon ball scoop works) You can chill and slice but why bother? I bake at 350 for 10 and let cool on the pan I whip the filling till quite fluffy and makes more than enough a little goes a long way If you can control yourself, let the assembled cookies rest for a couple days and then the real Oreo flavor comes through I tend to prefer using butter and coconut oil in place of the shortening in the filling Making the dough balls about 3/4 inch around I got 2 dozen assembled cookies
