If memory serves me correctly, someone asked about making oreo style cookies at home. While scanning through the Moscow Food Co-op site, I found this recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds right.
Homemade Oreo-Style Sandwich Cookies (adapted from Retro Desserts, by way of www.smittenkitchen.com)
Makes 25 to 30 sandwich cookies
The Chocolate Cookies:
11/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°F. In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass. Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a Silpat-lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
The Filling:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy. To assemble the cookies, plop a teaspoon or so of cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.
Can't wait to try them
