But if I was that good in re-creating every cookie on earth there would be no need for store bought cookies, right. So let’s just say this Homemade Oreo is as close as it gets. I think they taste delicious. I always prefer homemade because then I know what goes into it and I can count the number of ingredients on just one hand. I wanted a little bit of crispness but not hard cookies. I saw Woolworths Taste had a recipe posted for Oreos so I used the idea for filling from there. But I created my own little recipe for the biscuits. Have you ever baked cookies and tried adding some powdered milk to it? I have done that many times and it does add a lovely flavor to the cookies. Although I used powdered milk for these cookies you really don’t have to. I added a tad bit of self-raising flour because I didn’t want soft cookies but I also didn’t want super hard cookies. Adding the self-raising flour makes it that little bit solid. I am quite impressed with my Homemade Oreo, if I have to say so myself. I also used vanilla paste but if you don’t have any feel free to use Vanilla Essence, you will have to increase the amount.
There was a time when I was crazy about cake decorating stuff. I bought all kinds of funny little decorating gadgets. So I have this little tool which is meant to be used on fondant. However, I sometimes use it when making cookies. I press this little design on top of the dough after rolling it out. Just adds a little prettiness to the cookies. Another great idea is if you have one of those flower press thingys that you use on fondant. You can press it into the dough to make little designs. That’s if you have the patience for it. You will need wax paper for these cookies as you want them to be rolled out quite thin, about 1/2 cm. It is therefore easier when you roll the dough between the wax paper. The same applies for the filling, it is paste like so you will roll it out (as thin as possible) and then cut into circles. Also the dough needs to be a little firm, not too firm but not too soft either. It needs to be the right consistency to be able to roll it out. As I say when making cookies never add all the flour, little bits at a time is what works best.
