Tried and Tested: Oreo Cookies

not the best quality picture - but I had to be quick ... they were going fast!
Easter is 'just around the corner' and as a treat I made home made Oreo Cookies for Our Boy and The Professor. 
The latter doesn't have a very sweet tooth, but he admitted these were very more-ish! Our Boy voted with his feet - making numerous trips to the kitchen...
:-)

I found the recipe on Matmonsteret's blog (yep, means The Food Monster ;-)), but made some minor changes to it. She had found it via an American blog so the measurements are in cups
 (1 cup is about 2.5 dl):

Mix:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup sugar

Use a mixer and add:
1 1/2 cup soft butter 
(I used melted butter which I think helped bringing it together)
1 large egg

I shaped the dough into a long sausage and cup thin slices of it which I transferred to a baking tray. They do spread out a little so mine became much larger than traditional Oreos.

Bake them in the oven on 190 degrees for 9 minutes (keep an eye on them!)

In the meantime, make the filling. 
Here are two options:

The original filling is :
1/2 cup soft butter
2 cups powder sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar

or

I used this filling:
200 grams creme cheese (extra light)
3/4 cup powder sugar
1 dl dessicated coconut

Let the cookies cool before you add a dollop of filling to the backside of one cookie and slowly press another cookie on it.

Lovely with a large glass of cold milk 
or for the complete decadence 
- with home made ice cream!
