I saw this recipe on http://www.smittenkitchen, and just had to try them. They went together easier than I expected and taste just like the original oreo cookies only better.
The chocolate wafer cookie could also be used in ice cream sandwiches. I think for ice cream sandwiches however, I would make the cookie a little thicker.
One of these cookies and a tall glass of milk will make your day! This batch are headed to my nephew's Birthday party.
Chocolate Wafers
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa (I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar (use the 1 1/2 cup if you want a sweeter cookie)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
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
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. In a food processor or electric mixer, thoroughly mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt and sugar. add butter, and then the egg. Continue mixing until dough becomes together in a lump.
3. Roll cookie dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. cut into 1/4 inch pieces and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (these cookies will spread out alot, so leave pleanty of room between cookies). Bake for 9 minutes
To make cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and beat on low speed, gradually beating in sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until filling is light and fluffly.
Assemble cookies by spreading underside of cookie with filling and then topping with another cookie.
ENJOY!!
