Recipe: 00309 Title : Oreo Sandwich Cookies Author: Katie E Green Date : August 1995 _________________________________________________________________________ Here is another chocolate wafer recipe. Oreo Chocolate wafers are the perfect texture that has been requested of late. This clone looks too good to be true. Simple to a fault. I have not made these as yet. Since many of our British friends have asked "what is an Oreo" I thought I would post the recipe. Makes up for all that scrumptious gingerbread. From More Top Secret Recipes, ISBN 0-452-27299-8. THAT'S another thing that has disappeared (different thread) Oreo Big Stuff cookies. What a "fix" that was! COOKIE WAFERS: 1 (18.25 oz) box Duncan Hines Dark Fudge Cake Mix 1/3 cup water 2 tablespoons shortening CREME FILLING: 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup shortening (no substitution) 3 tablespoons hot water Preheat oven to 325F. Blend all ingredients; then knead with your hands until it is pliable like dough. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bottom of a glass works nice for this. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy. I should think you could refrigerate the dough in cylinder shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 1/8 inch thick, as well. Let cookies cool on sheets. Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter (this is a preference thing in the U.S. and part of the great Oreo cookie debate!), again using your hands. Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge. Makes 2 dozen cookies (4 dozen wafers) **Here's the best part. You can make your own preference line of Oreo Double Stuff (double up on the filling), or create Oreo Big Stuff (bake extra large monster cookie wafers and use, oh say triple filling!). Or they recommend Triple Stuf, or Quadruple Stuf, Quintuple Stuf...and the author begs for somebody to slap him quick. How about an Oreo torte! *Evil grin* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _________________________________________________________________________
