  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 8 minutes
  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Servings: Approximately 60 Oreos

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:
1 cup water
1/3 cup shortening
2 cups powdered sugar
3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup hot water
2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and grease a cookie sheet.

  2. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine water, shortening, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
    • Blend all the ingredients using an electric mixer until well combined.
    • Once blended, knead the mixture with your hands until it forms a smooth dough-like consistency.
  3. Shape and Bake the Cookies:

    • Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
    • Place the dough balls onto the greased cookie sheet, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
    • Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a cookie shape.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the cookies are crisp and slightly golden.
  4. Cool the Cookies:

    • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
    • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely while you prepare the filling.
  5. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a separate mixing bowl, combine shortening, hot water, and powdered sugar.
    • Mix the ingredients together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  6. Assemble the Oreos:

    • Take one cooled cookie and place a small ball of filling (about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter) in the center of the flat side.
    • Top it with another cookie, flat side down, and press gently until the filling spreads out to the edges.
    • Repeat this process for the remaining cookies and filling.
  7. Enjoy Your Ultimate Homemade Oreos!

    • Indulge in the deliciousness of your freshly made Oreos.
    • Feel free to get creative and experiment with different levels of filling – from double-stuffed to quadruple-stuffed – the choice is yours!
