Who doesn’t love Oreos? These Amazing Homemade Oreo Sandwich Cookies are soft, rich and sandwiched with creamy marshmallow filling.
I love a good Oreo and I knew I needed to create my own recipe. Soft and chewy cookies are my favorite, so that’s how these delicious homemade Oreos are. I knew I wanted the filling to be creamy like the original Oreos, so I added marshmallow cream to my vanilla buttercream base. After a couple of tries it came out exactly how I was hoping.
INGREDIENTS BREAKDOWN
Cookie Dough
- Unsalted Butter: I used unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in my recipes.
- Granulated Sugar
- Light Brown Sugar: I used more brown sugar to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Cocoa Powder: I used dutch processed cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
- All-Purpose Flour: I spoon and level or measure by weight for an accurate measurement. If you scoop your flour with the measuring cup it will be too much flour.
- Salt
- Baking Sowder
- Baking Soda
Cream Filling:
- Unsalted Butter
- Powdered Sugar: I measure the powdered sugar and then sift it for a smooth texture.
- Marshmallow Cream
- Salt
HOW TO MAKE AMAZING HOMEMADE OREO SANDWICH COOKIES
- Cookie Dough: Cream the room temperature butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add cocoa powder and mix on low and gradually increase speed as it mixes in the dough. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and mix until just combined. Scrape sides of bowl and mix with rubber spatula.
- Bake: Roll cookies into one inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. I use a 1 ½ tablespoon sized cookie scoop. Bake cookies at 350° F for 6-8 minutes. The cookies will lose most of their shine. Don’t overbake. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool on the baking sheet. As soon as you remove cookies from the oven, use a cookie cutter or the mouth of a cup to shape cookies into an even circle.
- Filling: While the cookies are baking, beat butter for about 3-5 minutes. Add marshmallow cream and mix until combined. Add sifted powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Add heavy cream and mix until well combined.
- Assembly: Once cookies are cooled, pipe or spread filling on one cookie and top with another cookie.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Stand mixer with paddle attachment: This KitchenAid is similar to the one I have.
- Rubber spatula: I’m still looking for one that I love, so if you have one you love let me know in the comments.
- Measuring cups and spoons: I use and love these measuring cups and spoons.
- Kitchen scale: This kitchen scale has great reviews on Amazon and is similar to the one I use.
- Half baking sheet: I love these Nordic Ware baking sheets.
- Cookie Scoop: I use this cookie scoop set all the time.
- Parchment Paper
- Piping bag or butter knife
