COOKIES - Homemade Oreos

By

Ingredients

  • Cookies:
  • 2 & 1/2 c. all-purpose, unbleached flour
  • 1/2 c. dutch-process cocoa (natural is OK, too)
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
  • 1 c. unsalted butter
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Cookies Making:
Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour,cocoa and salt; set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light an fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.

In 3 additions, add the flour mixture at low speed. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed.

Roll the dough on a lightly floured and cocoa-ed surface. (I mixed the 2 of these, then spread on my rolling surface, on my rolling pin, and used it to dip my cookie cutters.)

I cut these out using a 1 and 3/4" cutter.
{I also pressed a small heart cutter into the top, but not all the way through, before baking.}

Freeze cut cookies five minutes.

Bake 9 minutes. Let cool completely.
