** Please Note: I'm suspicious that I have listed a Liquid/Butter amount incorrectly- will be testing the recipe this weekend to resolve any error- (02-09-11)**
This recipe is VERY special. and I mean Very. very.very .very. I have seen several Oreo Cookie Recipes around the Internet- and honestly none of them really looked Oreo. They looked like a delicious Cookie- but not Oreo. Oreo's melt in your mouth.. after a nice little crunch. I'm going to brag endlessly about this recipe.. and let me tell you why.
I spent an ENTIRE WEEK working on these. 40 plus hours.. making them over and over and over. Changing the flour amounts, experimenting with every element of them. I ate SO many cookies. I even cried once in exasperation. But in the end. I got them PERFECT. This is one of those recipes that I will feel eternally proud of. I am especially excited that they are Free of All the most common Allergens - and suitable for almost anyone. So Friends.. Enjoy! This recipe is a treat made with lots of love for each of you!This Frosting Recipe is enough to make a double batch of the Oreo Cookies. I left this large amount- as you can freeze the frosting and use it another day. But h I suggest doubling the Cookie Recipe as they will get eaten- and if for some crazy reason they don't- they freeze really really well! This recipe as is makes roughly 30 Oreo Cookies.
I Highly recommend test baking 2-3 just cookies before throwing the entire batch in the oven. A minute makes a significant difference in the final texture of these cookies and all ovens are a little different. My 375 degrees might be a little hotter or cooler than yours! So by testing just a few cookies you can make sure that you are happy with the cooking time before making them all!
The Oreo's Pictured contain An Expresso Cream Filling! This can be made by Using Expresso in place of the Dairy Free Milk- and by adding 2-3 TBS of Expresso Coffee grounds!
Big Thanks to Matt Calabrese for taking these beautiful photos!
