OREO COOKIES
Greetings aspiring little chefs! This blog is short and quick. I was reading up on some interesting articles when this fantastic recipe popped up. Give it a go if you dare! It's a small blog but I have been so busy with exams, the summer has a lot more creative blogs coming your way. Be prepared...
So... Let's begin our cooking!
INGREDIENTS: (Makes around 40)
For the biscuits:
- 285g butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250g icing sugar
- 120g cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 200g plain flour
For the filling:
- 115g butter
- 500g icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions: First, you make a chocolate pastry using the cocoa, flour, butter and sugar. You then chill it, roll it out and cut out small rounds, using a cutter.Afterwards, bake, then cool, and fill with vanilla butter cream. In a nutshell, a lot of mixing...
HOW IT TURNED OUT:
Review of the person who first made it: Originally American, the branded version of these biscuits is available in every British supermarket and is one of my children’s favourites. The homemade ones were biscuit perfection. The cocoa stopped the pastry being too sweet, the butter icing had just the right amount of vanilla, and the crunch/squidge texture was spot on. Better than the real thing. However, a packet of Oreos costs 72p, — mine worked out at double that. But they were more than twice as good!
