Giant Oreo stuffed crinkles
I should probably call them cakes since they are so big! I used regular Oreos but you can choose the mini variety to make smaller cookies. I would really like to try them with peanut butter oreos!
RECIPE
Makes around 12 cookies
Ingredients
227g (1 cup) butter
500g (2 cups) of sugar
4 medium eggs
60 ml (1/4 cup) buttermilk
400g (3 1/3 cup) plain flour
75g (2/3cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tp salt
12 oreos
120g icing sugar
a baking sheet, greased with butter and lined with baking parchment
Bake in 190°C (375°F) for around 15 minutes
Instructions
- with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- stir in the eggs, one at the time
- beat in buttermilk
- in a separate bowl, combine the flour, icing sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and cocoa
- slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating with a wooden spoon or electric mixer on a low speed setting
- if the dough feels too wet, add a little bit of flour
- shape into a ball and wrap in clingfilm
- chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes
- take out the dough and weigh on a scale
- divide the total weight by 12 ( or 24 if making smaller cookies) - it will tell you how much dough you should take for each cookie
- weight out each cookie untill you run out of dough
- to make it easier for you to handle the dough, you can rub some butter or oil on your hands
- sift th eicing sugar into a separate bowl
- shape each piece of dough into a ball
- preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F)
- to stuff them with oreos, gently push the cookie in the middle of the dough ball and stretch the dough over it so it covers the whole cookie
- shape into a neat ball and roll in the icing sugar
- place the cookie ball in the freezer and continue with the rest of them
- keep them in the freezer until you fininsh stuffing all the cookies and the oven preheats
- roll them in the icing sugar again just before you arrange them on a baking tray
- to bake the cookies, arrange on baking tray with wide gaps inbetween them (around 3-4 cm)
- bake for 14-15 minutes, cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, after that you can transfer them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!! :)
