(Title) Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Homemade OREO
Hi Bold Bakers! I use OREO in a lot of my recipes. Most recently cookies and cream No
Machine Ice Cream. So I thought what better idea than to show you guys how to make Homemade
OREO from scratch. And stay tuned to the very end of this video where I will announce the
winner of the ice cream tub and scoop. So let's get baking!
The OREO cookie dough is really simple to make. You can either make it by hand or make
it with a food processor. I like to make it with a food processor because it's really
fast.
Into your food processor add in your flour dutch process cocoa powder
caster sugar baking soda which gives those lovely crinkles
on top a little bit of baking powder
and the always important salt.
Before we add any other ingredient we want to mix up all our dry ingredients together
really fast to combine them. Lovely!
To this mix we're going to add the cubed butter. Then back on with the lid and we're going
to pulse it until it resembles fine bread crumbs. If you're doing this by hand you can
use your fingers or a fork to blend in the butter. Now to bring this mix together we
add one beaten egg. Then back on with the lid and we're going to pulse again until it
forms a dough.
That took around ten seconds to come together and then you have your beautiful OREO dough.
Oh, it smells so good!
That's how fast and easy this dough is so let's get them onto the baking tray and into
the oven.
To shape your OREO cookies I like to do a very generous heaped teaspoon of dough. Give
each cookie a lot of space because it does spread out while baking. And then just pat
down each cookie a little bit to make the top kind of flat.
If you have time, I like to chill my dough before I bake it so around 20 minutes in the
fridge does it the world of good.
We're going to bake OREO cookies off at 350 degrees F and almost as fast as they were
to make they only take 9 minutes to bake. So it doesn't get much better than that.
While your cookies are baking, it's the perfect time to make your vanilla buttercream frosting
to fill your OREO. The recipe for this can be found in the Cookie Cake video and I put
a link in the description below.
If you haven't already done so, now is a great time to SUBSCRIBE. And for mobile and tablet

Our timer went off so let's check on our OREO.
Our OREO are done and they look and smell great. As they rest, they develop these beautiful
crinkles on top that make them look really good. We're going to let these go totally
cold and then we can assemble them.
My homemade OREO taste just like OREO but they're a little bit softer in texture which
makes them a little bit chewier.
To assemble your cookie, generously pipe your buttercream all around the edges. And if you
like your OREO double stuffed like I do then keep on piping. It's a homemade dream come
true for OREO lovers.
If you want to try something really BIG & BOLD, you can make Mint OREO. Add natural peppermint
flavor a tiny bit of green food coloring to get your desired color. You can make a variety
of flavors!
And make sure to enjoy your OREO Cookies with milk!
Mmmm. Even better than the real thing.
Thank you all for your great suggestions on Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. I loved reading
them. But there can only be one winner for this competition. Nadz suggested Meringue
cookies with lemon curd ice cream. Sounds fantastic! So Nadz these are making their
way to England to you. Thanks so much for watching and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to
my channel. And I'll see you back here again next Thursday for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
