homemade oreos, triple-stuffed.

oreos!

I have never eaten an oreo and thought, "Wow, that was the perfect amount of icing!" Instead, oreos consistently leave me feeling unsatisfied and covered in chocolate crumb-dust.

The remedy? Homemade oreos, with as much icing as my heart desires.

I used Deb's recipe, which is simple and perfect as is (my cookies look different because I used dark cocoa powder). I took her advice to cut out a half cup of sugar in the cookies to make them more wafer-like instead of overwhelmingly sweet. Sprinkling sea salt on the icing is key (as always, in my book).  They keep well in the fridge and I actually like them better chilled.

Store-bought oreos will never be the same. Don't say I didn't warn you.

i will buy you a bakery here in germany/austria and pay you to run it if i can get things like this for free.

Jenni... deal! :)

Laura said...

Ah I used this recipe too and absolutely loved it! And you're so right - store bought Oreos just don't suffice anymore. I also tried mixing some peanut butter into the icing which I highly suggest if you find yourself whipping another batch of these up anytime soon!

You're just a genius! I feel exactly the same way about Oreos! I end up taking two double stuffed ones and making 4x stuffed. It's gross. I'm trying these for sure!
